Yellow Dock Seeds

Yellow Dock, also known as Rumex Crispus, is native to Eurasia, Europe and Africa.

Yellow Dock has long been used in herbal medicine as an astringent tonic and laxative. The Native Americans used the ground fresh roots of Yellow Dock to treat their wounds. Yellow Dock was considered to be a blood purifier in the 19th century.

Today, herbalists used the juice from the crushed base of Yellow Dock's leaves to ease the effects of stinging nettle. In fact, Yellow Dock has many valuable cleansing properties and is extremely beneficial for a variety of skin problems.
