Curious about burdock root for pets?
With benefits in multiple areas of health, it’s no surprise that many pet parents have added burdock root to their pets’ routine. But what exactly is this herb, and how does it work? From supporting pets with cancer to helping the liver detoxify the body, learn all about burdock supplements for pets.
Burdock may often grow on the side of trails and paths, but it is no weed. Herbalists prize burdock Arctium lappa – for its unique properties.
Although it is for its broad leaves and purple flowers, it is actually the root of the plant that is highly sought after. That’s because the root is packed with nutrients and compounds that support detoxification and overall health.
In addition to being a traditional medicine favorite, research also suggests that burdock has the potential to help with a variety of illnesses.
Burdock root contains several types of lignans, a type of compound found in plants. Lignans are believed to be responsible for some of the plant’s healing effects, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as offering support to those with cancer.
Studies have also noted that this plant may have liver-protective properties, making it a go-to for detoxification support.
It’s no surprise that holistic veterinarians also look to burdock root for treating inflammation in pets with conditions like liver disease and cancer!
Burdock root is non-toxic to pets. Like any herbal supplement, be sure to only give an appropriate amount. Do not give pets supplements made for humans; this can be too high a dose. Instead, choose a supplement that is approved by vets in safe amounts.
Additionally, do not give any supplement to a pet that is pregnant or breastfeeding without approval from your vet.
Remember, the dosage and quality of the herbal ingredient are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team. NHV formulas are meticulously researched and made in a GMP-certified facility using only the highest quality organic or ethically harvested herbs. Each formulation was expertly developed by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.
Be sure to use a supplement made specifically for pets. Burdock can be found in pet-appropriate doses in two NHV supplements. We use the root of the plant because of its high content of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial organic compounds.
Our main cancer support supplement, NHV ES Clear, features burdock as one of its ingredients. In this formula, burdock is one of four herbs that support pets with cancer. It has antioxidants and free-radical scavenging properties, which are particularly important in pets with cancer. Its potential to protect the liver is also useful for pets who are taking pharmaceuticals or who are undergoing chemotherapy.
In BK Detox, burdock root joins herbs like red clover to support the body’s natural detoxification process while offering support for pets who are experiencing inflammation. These natural and gentle ingredients make an excellent supportive supplement for pets with cancer, immune disorders, blood disorders, and more.
