Burdock Seeds - Niu bang zi

Burdock is a plant native to Asia. Sometimes consumed for culinary purposes, the Chinese pharmacopoeia uses its root but also its seeds (Niu bang zi in Chinese) for their detoxifying action on the respiratory system.

Indeed, Niu bang zi effectively soothes the throat and favours the expectoration of mucus clogging the airways. Thus, it is a powerful detoxifier that clears the respiratory system and relieves coughing. Niu bang zi is especially recommended for soothing allergic reactions** (running nose, sneezing, itching, etc.).
