Burdock root is a vegetable native to Europe and Northern Asia, but it is now also grown in the United States and many other parts of the world. This plant has extremely long roots that grow very deep into the soil to find nutrients and water. The roots can be beige or brown, and on the outside the roots are sometimes black. Some animals and insect larvae eat the burdock root in the wild, and the root is also often eaten by humans. It can be cooked or eaten fresh, and is common in Asian dishes.

Burdock is part of the Asteraceae family, and can also be called Arctium lappa. Plants that belong to the Arctium genus have large, dark green leaves that can grow to be more than 2 feet (70 cm) long. The flowers of the burdock plant are popular with honeybees for the pollen they produce. The plant also contains "burrs" which can catch on fur and clothing, entangling people and animals. These burrs are the inspiration behind the hook-and-loop closures used on many products today.

Yellow dock, which is officially called Rumex crispus, also goes by the names curled dock or curly dock. It is in the Polygonaceae family, and is native to Western Asia and Europe. As a perennial, flowering plant, yellow dock produces a flower stalk that can grow to be nearly 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters) high. Smooth leaves branch off of a basal rosette at the bottom, and have edges that are distinctively wavy or curled.

Flowers and seeds are produced in clusters on the stems, and the seeds are encased, so they can float on water or get caught in the fur of animals that brush by them. That helps the seeds travel longer distances, allowing yellow dock to spread and thrive. The root that takes hold from the seed is large and yellow, with a forking taproot that makes its way deep into the soil for water and nutrients.

The sarsaparilla root in this blend is Hemidesmus indicus, known as Indian sarsaparilla. It is a slender, twining plant native to the Indian subcontinent, where it grows in open scrub and along forest edges. Its long, thin roots are known for their naturally sweet, woody aroma.

In southern India the root is called nannari, and it has a long history of use in traditional cooling drinks and syrups. Its gentle, vanilla-like scent comes from compounds that occur naturally in the root.

Milk thistle seed comes from the plant Silybum marianum, a member of the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean region but now grows widely across Europe, North America, and other parts of the world. The plant is known for its large green leaves with white, milky veins and its bright purple, thistle-like flowers. After flowering, it produces small, dark seeds that are the primary part used in herbal preparations. Milk thistle has been valued for centuries and is commonly used today in teas and herbal blends.
