Background and Use
Burdock is valued in many cultures for its safety and effectiveness. The root, leaves and seeds were known to the ancient Greeks as healing remedies. With the exception of Chinese traditional medicine which employs seeds, it is the roots that are used today as both a food and a traditional medicine. Its popularity as a food is increasing as more people turn to macrobiotic diets.
Precautions
Not recommended for use during pregnancy or while nursing, until further research verifies no contraindications. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if unusual symptoms occur.
Allergens
Individuals sensitive to plants in the Daisy family (sesquiterpene lactone-containing plants) should use all Burdock supplements with caution.
