Yellow dock was one of the most esteemed medicinal plants in traditional herbal medicine dating back to the 1700’s. Yellow Dock is considered a tonic, a cleanser, a digestive herb, a laxative and a diuretic. As a tonic, the roots were taken to increase appetite and counteract anemia and scurvy. Yellow Dock herb was particularly appreciated for just about all conditions and diseases affecting the skin including acne, psoriasis, leprosy, ringworm, herpes, eczema and dermatitis. For these conditions, the leaves and root were taken internally as a decoction or as a poultice to be applied directly to the skin. The herb has even been used to improve hair and fingernail quality. Yellow Dock’s cleansing properties are associated with removing waste by stimulating the liver, gall bladder, digestive tract and urinary tract. By stimulating digestive organs, yellow dock can also promote the absorption of nutrients. Yellow Dock is considered a laxative and can be used to treat constipation. At the same time, it reportedly helps those suffering from hemorrhoids. Yellow Dock also detoxifies on cellular level with antioxidants that eliminate free radicals from the body. Some have even used Yellow Dock as a traditional remedy for poisoning.

Growing Information: Sow the seeds about 1/8th deep in a fertile soil. The seeds can be lightly scarified with sandpaper to help increase germination potential. Yellow Dock seeds generally require temperature fluctuation to sprout. Keep the seeds evenly moist throughout germination. Sowing outdoors during spring or fall will help subject the seeds to natural temperature fluctuations. Cold stratification in the fridge for four weeks can also help simulate this. Once established, yellow dock likes moist garden soil.
