My skin is already oily. Has anyone else here used burdock root for acne? A lot of acne that I get is contact acne. For example, if I sleep on my back and put pressure on my right shoulder blade, which I do, I get a lot of acne there. So it seems like my bloodstream would benefit from the purifying action, but how effective burdock is I don't know and what effects it will have on my oily skin I also don't know. Thanks guys, >> ______________________- It has nothing to do with adding oil to you. I used Essiac tea for awhile which is mostly burdock with sheep sorrel, slippery elm and turkey rhurbarb and I even had mole and things that had come up to go away. But was reading Dr. Norman 's book last nite, " Colon Health " and he says anyone having pimples etc needs to clean the colon and you will watch that go away. Of course this means a good diet also as not to dirty the colon again and to produce good blood. ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a great source go to: www.anursesherbaltea.com/ The herbalist there brews the tea and sells it for only $8.50 a bottle! (It is around $30.00 most other places.) Good fortune....

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Burdock Root Burdock root is one of the best blood purifiers. It cleanses and eliminates impurities from the body very rapidly. It is the main ingredient of Essiac or Ezziac Tea which many people use for cancer and blood purification.It is also a nourishing herb, excellent for building and strengthening the entire system. Burdock root is high in a number of minerals, especially iron. It is specifically recommended as a tonic and a cleansing herb for the liver and lymph system. It is often combined with dandelion root as a liver cleanser and endocrine tonic tea.Raw Burdock is sold in Oriental markets. It is a very nourishing and delicious herb. It was used by ancient herbalists for weak uteruses and to aid in childbirth. However, in modern times it is not considered a "female herb" specifically. Yet it is a wonderful herb to take during pregnancy because of its high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. It is also a mild diuretic.Burdock tea taken freely will heal all kinds of skin diseases, boils, canker sores, leprosy, etc. It will clear persistent teenage acne if taken regularly for three to four weeks.Hot fomentations of the tea can be used on swellings. It is good to apply externally as a salve for skin eruptions, burns, wounds, swellings, and hemorrhages.It is slightly bitter but easily masked by sweeter tasting herbs like licorice and fennel seed. It is nontoxic and served as a food throughout the Orient.As capsules the recommended dosage is 1 capsule 2 times/day. As a tea use 1/2 teaspoon of powder twice daily in a glass of water. Or make a decoction of the root using 1 ounce of root to 1 1/2 pints of boiling water. Drink a glassful three or four times a day. It is a pleasant tasting tea and can be used to camouflage the bitter taste of dandelion root which is an excellent complement.Just a few of the things burdock deals with: neutralizes or counteracts the effects of a poisonreduces inflammation destroys bacteriacleanses the blood as well as enhances it by increasing the nutrient valuestimulates bile flow from the gall bladder and bile ducts into the duodenumsoftens and soothes damaged or inflamed surfaces such as the gastric mucous membranes. cleans or purifies blood by promoting eliminative functions.supports and stimulates the liver, gall bladder, and spleen, and increase the flow of bilestrengthens stomach functionrestores, nourishes, and supports the entire body; a substance that exerts a gently strengthening effect on the body Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Watching an old Charlton Heston movie the other day. Someone tried to fix an owie that the local doctor had started on. They put burdock, charcoal and a wee bit of seal oil on it. The dr was so disgusted it cracked me up. He said later the patient would survive if the wife quit trying to set medicine back 200 years!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I always remember which one is burdock by the seed pods…they are spiny like sea urchins and the prickles break off easily and are like velcro in the dog’s fur. We don’t have them down here in SE Florida (at least, not that I know of), but they were all over the dog park up where we lived in PA. I had no idea they were so useful, though!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I believe both are OK. I had trouble with the bitterness of the burdock root tea, myself. It is difficult for me to drink. The dandelion tea is far less bitter.
