1/4 Pound Burdock Root, Cut
Description
After taking his dog for a walk one day in the early 1940s, George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, became curious about the seeds of the burdock plant that had attached themselves to his clothes and to the dog's fur. Under a microscope, he looked closely at the hook-and-loop system that the seeds use to hitchhike on passing animals aiding seed dispersal, and he realised that the same approach could be used to join other things together. The result was Velcro.Folk herbalists consider dried burdock to be a diuretic, diaphoretic, and a blood purifying agent. Burdock root oil extract is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acids (including rare long-chain EFAs), the nutrients required to maintain a healthy scalp and promote natural hair growth. It combines an immediate relieving effect with nutritional support of normal functions of sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
When preparing infusions with Burdock Root, it is recommended that you do not store the prepared infusion for over 2 weeks. Store the dried Burdock Root in a cool, dry place.
