Burdock Root & Burdock Seed (Arctium lappa) — Dried Food Herb, 500g

Burdock Root and Burdock Seed (Arctium lappa) are the dried root and fruit of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Niú Bàng (牛蒡). For centuries, burdock has been prized as a cooling, detoxifying, and wind-heat-clearing herb, used to soothe the throat, support clear skin, and ease seasonal discomfort. Its nature is bitter, pungent, and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet effective herb for clearing heat, dispersing wind, and supporting the body's natural balance.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, burdock root and seed are decocted into teas, soups, and cooling tonics to support the body during seasonal transitions. The root is often simmered with ingredients like goji berry, jujube, and chrysanthemum for a light, refreshing brew, while the seed is traditionally used in wind-heat formulas. As a daily tea, burdock is brewed alone or blended with mint and honeysuckle for a gentle, cooling infusion.
