Burdock Roots vs Leaves?
Roots and leaves of burdock (Arctium lappa) do share some overlapping properties—both contain polyphenols and exhibit mild anti-inflammatory and diuretic actions—but they are not identical in their benefits.
ROOT:
-
-
POTENCY: The root is especially rich in arctigenin, caffeic-acid derivatives, inulin (prebiotic fiber), and a broad spectrum of antioxidants.Studies show these compounds occur in higher amounts in the root versus the leaf, making the root more potent for detoxification, immune modulation, and anti-inflammatory effects.
-
POWER: Use burdock root (tea, tincture, extract) when you’re after full-body detox, digestive health, immune modulation, and antioxidant support. That kind of power isn't generally needed daily.
-
HIGH INULIN content: Burdock root’s high inulin content fuels beneficial gut bacteria, helps regulate blood sugar, and supports healthy cholesterol levels—benefits the leaf cannot match due to its very low inulin concentration
LEAVES:
-
-
GENTLE: Use burdock leaves for topical soothing applications (poultices) or very gentle, mild diuretic teas to drink daily—but don’t expect the leaf to match the root’s deep-cleansing power.
-
Skin and topical uses: The leaves can be used externally as poultices to soothe burns, rheumatism, and skin irritations—an application for which the leaf is uniquely suited. Although, our Minty Relief (for pain) and GypsySun (for burns) are easier and more effective options.
-
Respiratory and lymphatic support: Both parts offer mild diuretic and lymph-stimulating actions, but the root tea remains the traditional go-to for deep lymphatic detox and liver support. The leaf can aid fluid balance for those who need more gentle support.
