What is it and where does it come from? Burdock (Articum lappa) is a scaly, pale green, flower bearing plant that belongs to the thistle group of plants. Mature Burdock plants can stand up to three to four feet in stature. Burdock flourishes in damp environments and is indigenous to China, Europe and the United States. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
The roots, seeds and leaves of the Burdock plant contain polyacetylenes, chlorogenic acid, taraxosterol, arctigen, inulin, lactone, essential oils, flavonoids, tannin, mucilage, resin, potassium, iron, and calcium.
