Belonging to the Asteraceae family, burdock—also known as black broth, scabious, or giant’s ear—is a robust, biennial herb with abundant, very broad, alternate leaves that are serrated at the tips.
The origin of the word “burdock” remains unclear, and there are many interpretations. The word “burdock” may derive either from the Greek “arktos,” meaning “bear,” or from the Lyonnais term “bardane,” which could be interpreted as “bedbug,” or even from the Latin “barrum,” meaning “mud.” What is certain is that the plant is known to everyone for its fruits (spiny balls) that cling to all kinds of clothing and are the inspiration behind the famous Velcro.
Known by its Latin name Arctium lappa (or Arctium majus), it is recognizable by its large, distinctive heart-shaped leaves and its red or purplish-pink, tube-shaped flowers surrounded by hooked bracts. Widespread throughout Europe—with the exception of the Mediterranean basin—it thrives in limestone soils and is frequently found along roadsides and in alpine meadows. Native to Asia and Europe, burdock is a plant that grows easily in most regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
The parts of the plant used are the roots and leaves. Burdock is primarily used in herbal medicine for its root, which concentrates its medicinal properties. Before flowering, it possesses several properties, including “sweat-inducing, purifying, and diuretic effects that help combat skin infections.” Burdock root contains a polysaccharide called inulin, as well as phenolic acids, polyacetylenes, and flavonoids.
Burdock helps treat certain skin conditions related to excess sebum production. Anti-inflammatory: burdock is also said to act “on chronic joint inflammation, rheumatism, and gout; when combined with other anti-inflammatory plants, it facilitates the elimination of inflammatory substances.”
Burdock also has diuretic, diaphoretic, and detoxifying properties that help restore the skin’s radiance and luminosity. It contains phenolic acids, which promote the elimination of toxins. Burdock is also valued by people with sugar metabolism disorders, as it helps regulate blood sugar levels. To enhance its effects, burdock can be combined with other herbs, particularly wild pansy.
Fresh burdock leaves can be used to relieve itching caused by insect bites, on damaged skin, and for certain inflammatory conditions.

When the "filter organs", i.e. the liver and kidneys, reach their limits, the blood takes over to transport the waste and purify the body as much as possible. However, the body also has its limits, and these can be reached fairly quickly when toxin levels are high. This is why our body tries to eliminate them through the skin and…
