Gobo is Japanese for "Burdock" one of the "natural iron" plants and a blood purifier. In other countries we are talking about the same plant...different names. It's one of the reasons we use Latin botany names. Arctium minor (Common Burdock)and A. lappa (Greater Burdock) (a.k.a. A.majus)
*Yellow dock are cousins and grow freely in the wild in North America.
All of the ingredients in this pungent vegetable dish contain compounds that help the immune system fight viruses. (an anti fungal and works on the liver and blood.) Researchers have found that burdock has properties that specifically fight HIV.
3 cups of water
1 cup freshly chopped burdock stems (other parts of this plant leaves, root, and seeds even flowers, are very strong and potent!!)
1 chopped organically grown onion
5 minced cloves of farm fresh garlic
1/2 cup fresh diced farm fresh okra
salt, pepper and add in organic Turmeric
In a large saucepan over high heat bring the water, burdock, onion, garlic and okra to a boil. Then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the vegetables are soft. Season to taste with the salt, pepper and turmeric. This makes two servings. Serve often as possible. http://earthsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2008/11/burdock-yellow-dock-remedies.html
