Information
Bardane is a edible plant that can be consumed in the form of powder, juice or even root. Although burdock is considered a source rich in vitamins and minerals, it is not without risk for pregnant women. Bardane contains compounds called lutein and saponin which can be toxic to the fetus and cause congenital anomalies. In addition, burdensions can also cause nausea, vomiting and stomach aches. Therefore, it is best not to consume burdens during pregnancy. If a pregnant woman wishes to take advantage of the advantages of the burden, she must first consult her doctor to determine if she is able to consume it safely. Other nutritional herbs and supplements are also available to take advantage of the advantages of burdock without taking health risks.
