Roots are generally a good food for us to incorporate if we are needing more grounding energy. Burdock (Arctium spp.) will assist the body in opening, moving energy, balancing and finding a deep grounded flow.
Burdock is a wild edible (gobo) as well as herbal medicine. Try the roots roasted with other root vegetables or water-sauteed with carrots.
Medicinally, the roots assist the Liver, Kidneys, Lymph and improve intestinal health. Burdock root contains inulin, a source of fructo-oligosaccharides, (the preferred food for beneficial bacteria) and therefore feeds healthy flora in the colon. Maintaining a proper balance of these guys improves immunity, nutrient absorption and vitamin synthesis.
Move slowly with Burdock. It is deep and powerful medicine.
