4. Protects Liver
One of the most important determining factors for a person’s overall health and wellbeing has to be the health of the liver, as this vital organ is responsible for so many important bodily functions. Firstly, the liver is responsible for cleaning toxins from the blood, but it also removes waste from the blood as well.
For this reason, anything that supports or boosts liver function can only be a good thing. Burdock root can be one of those good things, as it is more than able to help a person maintain a healthy liver. By promoting the production of bile, which most people know comes from the liver, burdock root can assists the body in its secretion and excretion of unwanted waste products from the blood.
In the case of an already unhealthy liver, burdock root has been found to be useful in treating the livers of people who may have compromised organ function due to alcohol or drug misuse.
