BURDOCK ROOT 
BURDOCK ROOT Burdock root (which is literally the root of the burdock plant) may not be a familiar food, but its impressive benefits for detox, digestion, and elimination give it exciting beauty potential. Herbalists tout burdock for its ability to detox the liver and support kidney and blood health, both of which contribute to gorgeous skin. Some herbalists also recommend burdock as a powerful food for hair growth. Burdock root is packed with fiber that supports good bacteria in the intestines and is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and bursting with antioxidant value. It offers a wide range of beauty minerals like magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, and is a good source of B vitamins (especially B6, a healthy hair and good-mood essential). Roast burdock root in soups and stews, eat it raw grated into salads, or juice it for a major beauty boost.
