There is no need to describe the structure of burdock and explain where it grows. It can be found not only outside the city on the roadsides, but, perhaps, in almost every courtyard. If our readers not only knew the general appearance of burdock, but also all its properties to heal the human body, they would bow to this plant every morning.

It is no coincidence that an American company supplies us with the root of this plant under the guise of the medicine "Burdock". The German physician Kurt Tepperwein was right when he stated: "Whoever does not want to follow the royal path of knowledge must follow the normal path of suffering."

Roots and leaves have medicinal properties. Burdock roots have a diuretic, diaphoretic, moderate analgesic and choleretic effect. They stimulate the production of pancreatic enzymes.

The roots have antiallergic, antimicrobial, antiseptic effect. Their broth is drunk with gout, inflammation of the kidneys, with gallstone and urolithiasis, gastritis, colitis, hemorrhoids, rheumatism. Along with the improvement of the general condition, the state of the blood normalizes, the excretion of uric acid and urea increases, the inflammatory processes of the stomach, colon, etc. disappear.

Just like bean pods, burdock roots have powerful antidiabetic effects. Crushed leaves and root ointment are used for eczema and long-term non-healing wounds. Burdock leaf juice is drunk in case of cancer and in the postoperative period in order to avoid the appearance of metastases.

An infusion of burdock root in olive oil (burdock oil) is used to strengthen hair in case of baldness. For the same purpose, use a decoction of burdock roots with fresh nasturtium juice (2 tablespoons of juice per 1/2 glass of infusion). The mixture is rubbed 2-3 times a day, followed by washing the head with a decoction of burdock roots.
