root or seeds of the Burdock, it is one of the most valuable of medicinal
plants. It is a wonderful blood purifier and cleansing tea for detoxification,
making it valuable as a spring tonic tea. It is favored for helping
the body maintain healthy skin, nourish the urinary and respiratory
systems, and also nutritionally support joints and other skeletal tissues.

One of the functions of Burdock is to cleanse
the liver by stimulating the flow of bile. The plant has been used for many
purposes, including skin problems and as an antidote for poisonous foods,
such as mushrooms. The leaves are an excellent tonic for the stomach, especially
for ulcers and indigestion problems. This special Burdock tonic tea is prepared
by using an ounce of the dried root or leaves to a pint and a half of water,
and allowing it to simmer down to a pint.
