Burdock’s high concentration of potassium helps relieve tension within the cardiovascular system by relaxing the blood vessels and arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure and helping to prevent heart attack, and stroke. The chemicals that give burdock its bitter taste, also stimulate bile production and digestive juices in the gut, which helps the liver to rapidly process toxins and flush them from the system. Clearing toxins from the blood is one of the main purposes of the liver, and burdock’s organic compounds have been directly linked to improving this function.
It has significant levels of vitamin C and vitamin E, both of which act as antioxidants in the body to eliminate free radicals. These antioxidants have been linked to preventing infections, lowering one’s risk of cancer, supporting proper growth, and repairing the body’s cells and tissues.

Indoor air on average, is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoors. In the Western world we spend up to 90 percent of our time indoors. House plants can significantly reduce the amount of pollutants in the indoor environment. Photosynthesis allows plants to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen to the air. Studies show plants can help remove formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, benzene, ammonia, and trichloroethylene from the air. Do you own any houseplants?
