Pregnancy guidance

Caution

Boiled burdock root should be consumed in moderation and with caution during pregnancy. It provides prebiotic inulin fiber, potassium, and iron, but burdock has traditional herbal uses associated with uterine stimulation when consumed in large amounts. Peel the root deeply and boil it thoroughly in water until tender to reduce active bitter compounds and eliminate soil microbes. Limit consumption to minor culinary additions in mixed vegetable soups, and avoid medicinal burdock teas or extracts.
