What are the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine burdock tea?

Burdock tea is a pure natural tea made from the Chinese herbal medicine burdock root as the main raw material. It originated from Taiwan in the early days. During the growth process of burdock, the roots can go deep into the ground, so they can fully absorb nutrients in the soil, which makes its nutritional value particularly high.

Burdock tea is a pure natural tea made from the Chinese herbal medicine burdock root. It was popular in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation. Tainan once planted a large area of ​​burdock for the Japanese royal family. The burdock used in Tainan is the Xinlin burdock, which was successfully cultivated by Mr. Lin Changshan, the father of Taiwanese herbal tea health care, with Yanagawa from Japan as the mother species. Its characteristics are deep roots, fat leaves, rough skin and thick flesh. The diameter of the top-quality burdock is more than four centimeters and the length is more than 1.5 meters, which is several times larger than the white burdock sold on the market.

Because burdock roots go deep into the ground, they can absorb nutrients from the soil, so their nutritional value is particularly high. In addition, the time from land preparation to harvest of Xinlin burdock is as long as six months, and it needs to avoid the rainy season, so it can only be harvested once a year, which makes it rare and precious. Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty said that "cut the seedlings and wash them as vegetables, take the roots and boil them, and dry them as jerky, saying that it is beneficial to people."

It is comparable to ginseng and has the reputation of "Oriental ginseng". Burdock tea has a golden color and a pleasant aroma. It is a health drink suitable for people of all ages in all seasons. It can also be stewed, boiled, shabu-shabued, or made into soup.
