Art Maxwell Terrarium with Succulent Plant

Bladderwrack, also known as kelp (Fucus vesiculosus) is most commonly used in seaweed salad and dashi stock, but it’s also highly effective on its own. Bladderwrack has many benefits, ranging from aiding digestion to helping with high blood pressure and cholesterol to even fighting cancer cells.

Burdock root (Arctium) is often eaten, yet, can also be dried and steeped into tea. It works well as a source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that aids digestion and improves gut health. Additionally, this root contains flavonoids (plant nutrients), phytochemicals, and antioxidants that are known to have health benefits.
