Nature’s Answer Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) Also called burdock, great burdock, burrs, beggar’s buttons, hardock, gobo, happy major, snake rhubarb, lappa, filzklette (German), bardana (Spanish), lappolone (Italian). The word arktos comes from the Greek word for bear. Lappa comes from the Greek word meaning to hold fast.

The Burdock Root is a long black or brown root of the Burdock plant that’s native to Europe and Asia but now grows worldwide. The average root size for cultivated arctium lappa is an average of 1/2 pound each but can weigh up to 2 pounds.

Natures Answer Echinacea Root  (Echinacea purpurea / angustifolia) is one of the best-known herbs for immune support.* It has a long history of use that dates back to the Native Americans. Also known as purple coneflower, it is a perennial herb that is native to the central to southeastern areas of the United States. While it only grows wild in the US, it is also widely cultivated in Europe.

Echinacea grows up to twenty inches in height, producing large, beautiful, daisy-like purple flowers, although some varieties sport white flowers. The “cone” of the flower is prominent and distinctive. If you press on the cone, you will notice that it has sharp points, similar to the Echinoderm family of animals, such as the sea urchin, thus the “Echi” name.

Natures Answer Golden Seal Root (Hydrastis Canadensis), grows in the wild in the eastern United States and southern Canada. The plant is a low growing, sprawling leafy plant found in rich shady soil in forested areas. It is in the Ranunculaceae or buttercup family. The part of the plant most often used as a remedy is the underground rhizome.

This root has a deep yellow color, which probably leads to the names “yellow root’ and ‘orange root’. It is high in berberine- a bright yellow very bitter alkaloid, which, along with other alkaloids, including canadine and hydrastine, gives goldenseal its distinctive color, along with many of its helpful properties.* 

Natures Answer Valerian Root comes from the Valerian plant (Valeriana officinalis), a plant native to Europe and Asia, and later introduced to North America. Valerian got its name from the Latin word for “well-being.”

In the garden, Valerian is easily identified by the pungent aroma released when its roots are exposed. It’s believed that the word “pew” originated from the foul odor of the valerian root, which a first century AD Roman physician, Dioscorides, called Phu. The oil contained in the dried root can be yellowish-green to brownish-yellow depending on the soil where the plant is grown.
