While burdock root is not a cancer treatment, some preliminary studies have explored its potential anti-cancer properties in laboratory settings. Findings suggest that certain compounds in burdock may:
- Slow the growth of cancer cells in test-tube studies.
- Enhance the effects of conventional therapies (though more human trials are needed).
Important Note: These findings are not conclusive, and burdock should never replace medical treatments. Always consult an oncologist or healthcare provider before using herbal supplements alongside cancer therapies.
