Useful properties of burdock in diabetes
A lot of information can be found about the benefits of burdock in diabetes, about the healing properties of its roots and seeds, and often this plant is a real panacea for diabetics. Indeed, burdock, or burdock, is rich in bioactive substances, many of which can provide real help, alleviating the symptoms of diabetes, but they cannot replace drug therapy. However, the right combination of folk remedies based on burdock with antidiabetic drugs prescribed by a doctor will significantly improve the quality of life of a diabetic.
First of all, you should pay attention to the high content of fiber in this plant, which in type 1 diabetes can significantly reduce the risk of hyperglycemia. Another important property of the plant in diabetes of any type is its high content of macronutrients, flavonoids, vitamins and other elements that support metabolic processes in the body and prevent many diabetic complications.
Useful substances for diabetics contained in burdock and their properties
| Property | Substance | The active action of the substance |
| Prevention of hyperglycemia | Inulin | As an indigestible vegetable fiber, it slows down the absorption of glucose in the intestines |
| Improving the production and absorption of insulin | B vitamins | Stimulates pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin, increases the sensitivity of cell receptors to insulin |
| Antioxidant | Vitamin E, selenium, | Protects cell membranes and vascular walls from destruction by free radicals |
| Improved glucose uptake | Manganese, zinc, copper | Increase tissue tolerance to glucose, regulate the production of glucose by the liver |
| Prevention of atherosclerosis | sitosterol, sigmasterol, | Reduce the amount of absorbed cholesterol, prevent it from settling on the vascular walls |
| Stimulation of the pancreas | bitterness | Enhance the production of digestive enzymes, including insulin |
| Protection against inflammation | Mucus, tannins | Soften inflammatory processes in the mucous membranes of the digestive system, alleviate the condition with violations of the pancreas |
In addition to the benefits of a direct diabetic focus, burdock products improve liver function, heal wounds, help normalize blood pressure and have many other properties that improve the general condition of a diabetic.
The most popular burdock folk remedies used for diabetes and other diseases are prepared using the root of this plant. Burdock roots have a completely official name for the pharmacopeia - Radix Bardanae, possibly due to the high content of bardan (carotene) oil in them. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which are used even in peptic ulcers, and reduces the content of harmful cholesterol in the blood, preventing vascular complications in diabetes.
The most well-known component of burdock root is the polysaccharide inulin. This organic substance is a polymer of fructose and often serves as a starting material in the production of a sweetener in industrial conditions. Inulin in the body increases glycogen stores in the liver and supports the work of beta cells that synthesize insulin. In addition, inulin belongs to the group of indigestible dietary fibers and works in the body as a prebiotic. It increases the number of bifidobacteria in the intestines. There is research evidence that the flow of all metabolic processes and the prevention of the development of obesity depend heavily on the amount of bifidobacteria in the body of a diabetic.
Decoction of burdock root. Boil a tablespoon of chopped dry root in 500 ml of boiling water for half an hour. Cool the broth, strain, drink 50 ml three times a day before meals for a month.
Washed, peeled and dried burdock roots are roasted in a dry frying pan until brownish, then ground in a coffee grinder and brewed instead of coffee, 2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water.
Raw crushed burdock roots are added to cutlets and pie fillings, baked in the oven and eaten as a side dish.
Fresh green parts of burdock, its stems and large fleshy leaves, are valued for the bioactive substances contained in their juice. We are talking about alkaloids and phytosterols, tannins and flavonoids. These active elements have the ability to relieve inflammation and pain, strengthen the walls of cells and blood vessels. It also stimulates blood circulation and removes toxic products accumulated in the body due to illness.
Burdock leaves are applied to inflamed and ulcerated areas of the skin in diabetic angiopathy and other complications that affect the limbs. Previously, a burdock leaf can be lubricated with vegetable oil. It is assumed that this combination will prolong and enhance the effect of the active elements of burdock.
The juice is squeezed from the washed and dried green parts of the plant. It can be taken orally - a teaspoon 3 times a day half an hour before meals in a course of 1 week. Ulcers and wounds on the skin are lubricated with burdock juice, compresses are made from it.
Dried burdock leaves are used to make decoctions, often mixed with dried roots. To do this, boil 15 g of a mixture of crushed dry roots and leaves of burdock in 200 ml of boiling water for 5 minutes. The broth is cooled, filtered and drunk for a month, 1 dessert spoon three times a day before meals.
Tea from burdock inflorescences is considered a strong remedy that removes toxins from the body and can alleviate a person’s condition even with a malignant course of the disease. It has a mild diuretic and laxative effect. To prepare this tea, pour a pinch of dry burdock flowers into a glass of boiling water and let it brew a little.
Burdock oil is known to us under the name burdock. It is an infusion of the root in vegetable oil (sunflower or olive). The bioactivity of the resulting burdock oil is due to essential substances, which are abundant in burdock roots. The most interesting of these substances, from the point of view of diabetes therapy, are lignans, including arctiin. It is not in vain that the Latin name for burdock is Árctium. This natural phytoestrogen gives the plant and extracts from it many valuable properties, among which the following are especially important in diabetes:
Most often, burdock oil is known as an excellent tool for hair growth and strengthening. But in addition to the ability to influence the production of hormones that cause hair loss, burdock oil has strong wound healing and strengthening properties. This is an excellent adjuvant for diabetic complications - when ulcers and purulent abscesses appear on the legs, angiopathy develops with increased fragility of the vascular walls.
You can prepare burdock oil at home. To do this, peel, wash, grate 20 g of fresh burdock root, pour 200 g of olive oil and put on a small fire, heating for an hour, but not boiling. Next, put the mass in a dry and cool dark place for 8 days, then squeeze through cheesecloth. Such oil, after consultation with the doctor, can be taken orally or used for compresses.

Insulin moves glucose from the blood to the cells where it is needed. In patients with diabetes, blood glucose or sugar levels are too high and the cells cannot get the glucose they need. Burdock is an herbal remedy that can help keep your blood sugar in a healthy range if you have diabetes. Talk to your doctor to discuss whether burdock is a good choice for you.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an abnormal immune response that destroys the cells that produce insulin, while type 2 diabetes develops when the body's cells become resistant to insulin. Symptoms of both forms of diabetes include increased thirst, constant hunger, fatigue, poor or blurred vision, and slow healing from cuts or wounds. Diabetes also causes frequent urination and recurrence of bladder infections due to the presence of sugar in the urine.
Burdock, or burdock, is a wild plant found in temperate regions throughout the world. It has deep, dense roots that have been used in folk herbal medicine for thousands of years. Practitioners recommend burdock root to cleanse the blood of toxic compounds and as a diuretic to flush the kidneys. It is also used as a digestive aid and as a prebiotic to support the growth of healthy gut bacteria. Burdock is also recommended for lowering blood sugar levels. It contains a number of biologically active compounds that are responsible for their healing properties.
Two active compounds in burdock called arctin and arctigenin may interfere with your body's carbohydrate metabolism. These natural chemicals tend to lower blood sugar levels after a carbohydrate-rich meal, causing hypoglycemia and preventing blood sugar from rising quickly. In a clinical study published in a 2004 Chinese journal, diabetic patients consumed either burdock extract or a placebo. Those who took burdock experienced lower postprandial blood glucose levels than those who took placebo. In addition, burdock also tended to lower blood cholesterol and improve kidney function in the subjects. These are encouraging results, although larger clinical trials of burdock's properties are still needed.
Burdock is available as a dry powder or as a capsule supplement. The usual supplement dose is 1 to 2 grams, three times a day. Tea can also be made from dried burdock roots steeped in boiling water for 10 minutes; tea can be consumed several times a day. Although burdock is considered safe with no serious side effects, you may experience a rash if you are allergic to chamomile, chrysanthemum, or ragweed. Do not take burdock if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you are taking diuretic or diabetes medications. Discuss its use in detail with your doctor before adding it to your diet.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that occurs when your body stops producing insulin or when it fails to respond normally to insulin that is still being produced. Insulin moves glucose from the blood to the cells where it is needed. In patients with, blood glucose or sugar levels are too high and the cells cannot get the glucose they need. Burdock is an herbal remedy that can help keep your blood sugar in a healthy range if you have diabetes. Talk to your doctor to discuss whether burdock is a good choice for you.
Caused by an abnormal immune response that destroys the cells that produce insulin, while sugar develops when the body's cells become resistant to insulin. Symptoms of both forms of diabetes include increased thirst, constant hunger, fatigue, poor or blurred vision, and slow healing from cuts or wounds. Diabetes also causes frequent urination and recurrence of bladder infections due to the presence of sugar in the urine.
Burdock, or burdock, is a wild plant found in temperate regions throughout the world. It has deep, dense roots that have been used in folk herbal medicine for thousands of years. Practitioners recommend burdock root to cleanse the blood of toxic compounds and as a diuretic to flush the kidneys. It is also used as a digestive aid and as a prebiotic to support the growth of healthy gut bacteria. Burdock is also recommended for lowering blood sugar levels. It contains a number of biologically active compounds that are responsible for their healing properties.
Two active compounds in burdock called arctin and arctigenin may interfere with your body's carbohydrate metabolism. These natural chemicals tend to occur after a carbohydrate-rich meal, causing hypoglycemia and preventing blood sugar from rising rapidly. In a clinical study published in a 2004 Chinese journal, diabetic patients consumed either burdock extract or a placebo. Those who took burdock experienced lower postprandial blood glucose levels than those who took placebo. In addition, burdock also tended to lower and improve kidney function in the subjects. These are encouraging results, although larger clinical trials of burdock's properties are still needed.
Burdock is available as a dry powder or as a capsule supplement. The usual supplement dose is 1 to 2 grams, three times a day. Tea can also be made from dried burdock roots steeped in boiling water for 10 minutes; tea can be consumed several times a day. Although burdock is considered safe with no serious side effects, you may experience a rash if you are allergic to chamomile, chrysanthemum, or ragweed. Do not take burdock if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you are taking diuretic or diabetes medications. Discuss its use in detail with your doctor before adding it to your diet.
