Burdock Root
Did you know…this plant is originally native to northern Asia and Europe and is in the same family as sunflowers? Now this edible root vegetable also grows naturally in the USA.
Burdock root is incorporated into our PM Less blend for 2 reasons: it helps shed water weight and it balances the digestive system. Retaining water just prior to the start of menses can cause discomfort and bloating. A natural diuretic, this edible root helps eliminate excess water.
Many women also experience symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome during their cycle.
Multiple scientific studies have also found burdock root to contain antioxidants which battle free radicals which lead to inflammation and aging, purify the blood of toxins, and inhibit cancer cell growth.
We hope you learned something new! Check out our blog or social media posts next week for the next ingredient reveal.
