Traditionally, burdock has been used to help clear the blood, and at the same time replenish it since it is considered to be a good source of minerals. Burdock is often added to blood purifying, skin, and urinary blends. It is said to also help clear built up acids in the joints, making it useful in rheumatic formulas. It is thought to have a high amount of inulin that may help feed beneficial bacteria, and is purported to help some with blood sugar stabilization.
