Yellow Dock

Yellow Dock is found nearly world wide. Though imported from Europe, Yellow dock was a popular plant in Native American medicine both for internal and external use. It was used during medieval times to heal blisters, boils, burns, scalds, skin rashes and syphilitic lesions. The powered root having abrasive and astringent qualities was used to tighten spongy gums.

Yellow dock roots are also rich in tannins, which are responsible for the astringent effect of preparations from this plant when applied externally. Thus, applications for various skin conditions have a valid scientific base.
