INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OF PLANT-BASED REMEDIES, INCLUDING BURDOCK ROOT, IN MAINTAINING GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH AND PREVENTING DIGESTIVE DISORDERS

This scientific research explores the preventive effects of plant-based remedies, with a particular focus on burdock root (Arctium lappa), in maintaining gastrointestinal health and preventing digestive disorders. The study analyzes the bioactive compounds found in burdock root such as prebiotic fibers, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents and their positive impact on gut microbiota, reduction of intestinal inflammation, and improvement of overall digestive function. The investigation also includes a comparative evaluation of burdock with other traditional herbal remedies such as ginger, peppermint, and licorice. Findings suggest that burdock-based preparations may offer a natural and safe approach to supporting internal organ health, especially within the digestive system.
