Burdock can be useful as a tissue cleanser, helping the tissues remove any excess toxins. It can be useful as a general detox. Due to its detoxing nature, it is advised that burdock should be used alongside herbs that help the removal of these toxins, such as nettle or clivers.

Please see my Herbal Detox for a suitable blend!

Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including Burdock Root, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for full effects to be seen.

There is a way to speed up the effect! By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse.

Ideally, add a ½ litre/pint of boiling water to the herbs to be given that day. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down the horses feed. If access to a kettle is not practical, soaking overnight in cold water will also help to release the active constituents.
