About Burdock Root Extract:
   Burdock is regarded as being rich in dietary fibre and is also recognised as a good source of carbohydrates for diabetics. The most important ingredient in burdock is the polysaccharide, inulin, which constitutes up to 50% of the dry root weight. The stalks, cut before flowering and stripped of their rinds, have a similar flavour to asparagus when boiled.
  During the Middle Ages, burdock was valued for treating a host of ailments. English herbalists used burdock root for boils, scurvy (a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, leading to bleeding, gum disease, and weakness), diabetes, and rheumatism (disorders characterized by joint discomfort and loss of mobility). Burdock also played an important role in Native American herbal medicine, and American herbalists have used the roots and seeds of this plant for two centuries.
