Burdock Root (Arctium Lappa) Organic

Burdock root is a revered plant ally with a rich history in traditional herbal practices across Asia, Europe, and North America. This robust biennial is easily recognized by its broad leaves and signature burrs—a symbol of its grounding and tenacious energy. The root is most commonly used, traditionally harvested in its first year when vitality is at its peak.
