Notes:  A key nutritive herb when working with chronic illness and malnutrition. As a taproot, burdock is efficient at pulling minerals from the soil. The root is also rich in prebiotic fibers like inulin, which are helpful in maintaining or restoring a healthy population of gut flora. Burdock helps us digest fat more effectively, and aids in dispersal of lipids to where they’re most needed in the body. It is a nourishing bitter, working to improve digestion, assimilation, and elimination.
