Burdock root is a good source of antioxidants, which are chemical compounds that help protect your cells from damage. As an anti-inflammatory, burdock root may also help reduce your risk of chronic diseases, like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and maybe even some cancers. The best way to maximize their potential is to incorporate them into your daily health routine. Enjoying a cup of burdock root tea each day can provide all the essential nutrients and benefits your body needs for optimal health.

The taste of burdock tea is a bit earthy and a bit grassy.

How to brew: Add about 2 tablespoons of the root and place into a small stainless pot. Add 3 cups of filtered or spring water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to steep for another 20 minutes. Serve hot.
