Official Latin Name:
Arctium lappa
Burdock is
also known by the names Bardane, Clotburr, Beggars Buttons, Gypsy
Rhubarb, Gobo, and Burr. In traditional herbal texts, Burdock Root is
described as a ¢®¡Æblood purifier?or ¢®¡Æalterative,? and was believed
to clear the bloodstream of toxins. The genus name "Arctium" is from the
Greek, arktos, meaning "bear"' in reference to the shaggy burrs.
"Beurre" is French for "butter" as French women would wrap their cakes
of butter in leaves of Burdock to transport it to the marketplace.
During the Industrial Revolution, Burdock was used as a medicine to help
people cope with the increasing environmental pollution. The Swiss
inventor, George de Mestral, who invented Velcro? was inspired by the
Burdock burrs that covered his dog; when he observed the burrs under a
magnifying glass, he saw the tiny curved hooks. And in Hawaii, the roots
of this herb are sometimes given as a "gag" wedding gift because of
their aphrodisiac powers. Medicinally, Burdock Root has been used both
internally and externally for eczema and psoriasis, as well as to treat
painful joints and as a diuretic. In traditional Chinese medicine,
Burdock Root, in combination with other herbs, is used to treat sore
throats, tonsillitis, colds, and even measles. It is eaten as a
vegetable in Japan and elsewhere. Burdock is a mild laxative. It also
aids in the elimination of uric acid. The herb contains polyacetylenes
that have both anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties. By improving the
function of many organs of elimination (liver, kidneys, bowels), many
health conditions can be improved. Burdock Root contains high amounts of
inulin and mucilage. This may explain its soothing effects on the
gastrointestinal tract. Bitter constituents in the root may also explain
the traditional use of Burdock to improve digestion. The polyacetylene
constituents have also been shown to have anti-microbial activity.
Burdock Root (and the fruit) also have the ability to mildly lower blood
sugar (hypoglycemic effect).
