Burdock root can be taken in capsule, tea, or in food. Remember first, before using burdock root, either in tea form, or capsule, or in food, be sure to ask your doctor. Better yet, ask a nutritionist. Regular primary care phycisians can be skeptical of natural remedies of any kind. Just be aware of that.



Acne treatment is generally administered externally in forms of acne creams, lotions, gels, and toners. Using burdock root is an internal form of treatment, at least the way I use it. There are some who do some things external but let's keep it simple for now. My usual routine along with using the Proactiv solution is this:

Burdock Root Routine with Proactiv Solution:

1. Morning Proactiv: Wash face with soap(oil of olay) some soaps leave skin too dry. Dampen face and apply renewing cleanser to ace and neck. Rinse with about 7 washes of lukewarm water. Pad dry face with tablecloth. Apply revitalizing toner to cotton pad, then wipe face with pad. Let completely dry and apply repairing lotion to face.

2. Evening Proactiv: repeat as morning. In some cases I might substitute the repairing lotion for the daily oil control for overnight. 9 times out of 10, I had no overnight acne breakouts. But for maximum benefit, use the repairing lotion.

3. Evening: Take 1 burdock root capsule, 540mg, with meal or about an hour after. Vendor is Nature's Way burdock root. Most health stores carry it.

My advice on using the burdock root capsule is to not use more than 2 per day, unless you have an iron gut. It will work the colon. Again, I find taking a tablet at night or first thing in the morning is the best way. But you can take more if you wish. The idea is to create an acne treatment from inside the body, not just outside.

Also, personal note on Proactiv. This is what I use for acne treatment. You may have another acne treatment method that works for you, that is fine. I don't think using burdock root to treat acne will completely vanish it for ever, but it does open up the need for further research into what effects the inward has on the outward.

I desire to write more on this in the future, but I hope this little bit has spawned an interest in natural acne treatments that are inexpensive, but work. Also, it should make us think more on our eating habits. What we put into our machine is going to effect how the machine operates and even looks. Garbage in means garbage out. You eat good, you feel good.
