The Power of Burdock Root

4/22/2016

 
Picture
Dr. Edward E. Shook, N.D., D.C. in the work Advanced Treatise In Herbology wrote, "nature has not
produced for us many herbs whose food and medicinal value equal this one. It's ancient history as
a reliable remedy for bad blood, ulcers, tumors, and many skin diseases such as what we today call
eczema, psoriasis, acne, lupus, etc., to say nothing of internal disorders such as syphilis, leprosy,
cancer, etc., and the modern proofs of its marvelous efficacy in the treatment of humanities most
fearsome and loathsome diseases is positive proof that very few if any herbs are more virtuous or
possess more curative powers."

It should be noted that Dr. Shook was a very successful natural healer. In fact, the imminent 
herbalist and naturopath Dr. John Christopher, N.D., was a student of Dr. Shook. Dr. Shook went on
to say, with regard to burdock root: "to our certain knowledge, it has cured syphilis after all other
treatments had failed. For the successful treatment of chronic skin diseases, especially eczema,
​
burdock has no equal, while for boils its quick alterative and curative effect is truly remarkable."

1 Tbsp mirin/sweet cooking sake
1 1/2 Tbsp Tamari sauce

Picture
Scrub the burdock root, cut into matchsticks and soak in water. Rinse until water runs clear. Cut carrots into matchsticks as well. Measure out the sugar, mirin and soy sauce. Heat sesame oil in a pan and saute burdock, carrot and red chili on medium heat until carrot is soft. Burdock root will remain a bit harder. Add in sugar and mirin first. Mix well for a minute or two, then add in tamari sauce. Stir fry until tamari sauce begins to caramelize and gives off a nice smell. Stop heat and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Goes well with rice and keeps well for leftovers and lunches
