Yellow Dock

Yellow dock root is a traditional herbal remedy primarily used to support digestion and liver function. As a bitter digestive stimulant, it's thought to increase saliva, stomach acid, and bile production to aid digestion and relieve constipation. It also has astringent properties that may help with minor skin wounds and hemorrhoids, and is traditionally used as a "blood purifier" for conditions like psoriasis and acne. However, clinical evidence supporting these uses is limited, and it should be used with caution—it's not recommended for pregnant women, children, or those with kidney issues.
