Yellow Dock Root 4oz

(Latin Name: Rumex crispus)

(Also known as: Blood Cleaner, Iron Root, The Earth’s Purifier)

Brief History & Origin

Yellow Dock Root is the Herb of Cleansing, Nourishing, and Ancestral Purification, long used in African, Indigenous, and folk herbal traditions to cleanse the blood, strengthen the liver, and restore vitality. Its spiraling yellow root reaches deep into the earth, drawing up minerals and wisdom from the soil, while teaching us to release toxic burdens and reclaim radiant health.

Known as a blood builder and detoxifier, Yellow Dock has been used to treat anemia, skin conditions, sluggish digestion, and spiritual stagnation. In rootwork, it is revered for its ability to clear generational heaviness, break energetic blockages, and restore flow where things have become stuck.
