Burdock is a very popular plant grown all over the world, with the largest production in Taiwan. In Japan, burdock root is one of the special dishes served to celebrate the new year. Burdock has a long history of traditional medicinal uses, including treatment of cancer, arthritis, diabetes, hair loss, infections, kidney stones, acne, anorexia, headache, impotence, skin disorders and warts, among many others. Some lab experiments show promise for burdock in treating diabetes. According to the National Institutes of Health, burdock is an ingredient in anti-cancer herbal formulas Essiac and Hoxsey formula.
While some may be allergic, burdock is generally considered safe. It's a good idea to consult a doctor before using burdock root if you're being treated for any condition, especially diabetes.
The root is sold fresh in many grocery stores in Asian communities. Burdock root supplements, creams, extracts and teas are widely available.
