Cheryl's Herbs' BURDOCK PURIFYING TEA is made of 5 resolvent detoxicant herbs. Resolvent detoxicant herbs help address a wide variety of disorders by "altering and regulating the ground of disease." They do not target the body with a single specific action, but rather are broad spectrum in their approach to toxicosis.
BURDOCK ROOT - is a resolvent detoxicant herb that addresses eliminative deficiency in the kidneys. Specifically, Burdock Root is indicated for bladder irritation, urinary incontinence, and urinary deposits. By resonating with such kidney issues, Burdock Root also helps resolve arthritis, gout, and rheumatism along with lymphatic congestion and a variety of skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, hives, and weeping eruptions. The more toxic boil or abscess may also be resolved by this herb.
The remaining herbs in this tea, Violet Leaf, Nettle Leaf, Red Clover Blossom, and Lapacho Bark provide essentially the same benefits as Burdock Root.
The aim of Burdock Purifying Tea is to assist the body in reducing toxicosis. Insufficient urinary function, deposits such as stones, issues of arthritis, congested lymph, and skin conditions all stand to receive benefit from this pleasant-tasting combination of purifying herbs.
