Old Timers Used This Root to “Purify the Blood” and Heal Chronic Skin Complaints

[@AndrewH76251]

Hey Brother, North Central/Ozark Foothills Arkansas here. Your info is amazing. I’m learning as much as I can about this area. Lived in Intermountain Northwest prior to coming here. Totally different flora, fauna and climate. Love how you specialize in the South. Thank you so much !

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thank you for watching, glad you are getting a lot out of the channel!

[@neatnateable]

Welcome to the Ozarks!

[@Greyman-f9w]

Bro. I live in Northwest Alabama and I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you have taught me. I've been studying plants since 2008. I started with just field guides and hiking. And experimenting. In my opinion, this is the most important knowledge anyone can have. And your videos are outstanding. Keep up the awesome work. You are really helping people to be self-sufficient. And I believe that's gonna be crucial here in the near future.

[@Fallujarhead]

Hey dude, I'm also a North Alabama hiker. Have you hiked Lost Sink Falls in Madison county? It's an interesting trail. There and Bethel Springs are my favorite short trails. Just thought I'd share ✌️

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Glad you're getting a lot out of the channel, thank you for the encouraging words!

[@Greyman-f9w]

@Fallujarhead No I haven't heard of that, but I'll check into it definitely. I live right next To Natchez trace. I do a lot of hiking there and at Bank head. national forest and at freedom hills management area. There's one place I love to go as a dismal Canyon. If you've never checked that place out, it's worth it.

A few years ago i scattered yellow dock seeds all over my 3 acre property and then forgot about it. Last summer i was thrilled to be reminded by big healthy plants everywhere. It maks a great tea that is so soothing and gently energizing. Thanks for showing how to dig the roots! I live in Minnesota but i watch your videos often because many of the herbs you use will grow here too. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@deborahddenmark]

love your tutorial on how to dig these, you make it look so easy. and your explanations on why and how to use plants is very clear.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thank you! It helps digging when the soil is sandy lol

[@Fallujarhead]

During a fishing trip to Cherokee NC I got nauseous and a little old Cherokee lady sold me some yellow root. It really helped! Thanks for the video brother. I like the tattoo ❣️✝️

[@sampedro9316]

There's a couple other plants called yellowroot

[@taylordaine3881]

I have pulled so many of these out of my garden!

[@janicegelbhaar7352]

I love your videos , i just finished making my herbal salves for winter use. I make marigold salve, its used for scratches and deep wounds and it helps with demishing scars. It is antibacterial, lots better than Neosporin. I made Plaintain salve and i use it for fireant bites , as well as for wasp stings and Skeeter bites.

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Well, you need your own YT channel to teach that! Marigold Salve sounds amazing!

[@janicegelbhaar7352]

@stephaniewilliams9469 it is but I'm not in to doing a Yt channel.

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

@ 👍🏼

[@LDuke-pc7kq]

In the mountains , I was told you can use this to as an iodine alternative, anything that needs healing you can put it right on has a compress, but if you make it too strong it'll burn the skin

[@semperparatus678]

Thank you Matthew I follow your plants. I now have a good stock of seeds you recommended. I no longer drink coffee, I now drink Youpon. I love it's benifits and it's all around my property.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

That's great to hear!

[@neatnateable]

I no longer drink coffee either. I’m curious what made you stop. I’ll have to learn about Youpon.

[@jons2447]

Thank you, Matthew!

[@Solo-41]

😂Was NOT expecting the bath scene brother. Great and informative video. Haha Love your sense of humor🛁

[@Sk8Bettty]

Your channel is great, thank you!! Most of the plants you identify are also native to WV so I’m quite thankful to have found you :-))

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thank you for watching!

[@craigsawyer6453]

I am still laughing after you got into the bath with your work clothes on. Smart and funny - makes for a happy wife - the entire family really. Thank you for another great video.

[@flowerluv-xh6kn3jl8l]

Wow! You've got a great following and are helping many heal themselves. Keep up the good work, Matthew.

[@mikelgeren149]

Outstanding

[@thomasgilbreath1250]

I was just researching this plant a couple days ago lol. Definitely confirmation of its importance.

[@nora-_-]

4 tbsp per quart of water boil for 15 minutes , take 1/3-1/4 cup before meals

[@cajuncrochet240]

Thank you ❤ I appreciate the work that went into the ending 😂 I know I mentioned that I suffer from really bad psoriasis (85% coverage) and low iron levels, in another video you have on this plant. I appreciate that you added the bath in this one. I NEED that!

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thanks for watching!

[@jackiehamilton793]

Such valuable information. Thank you for teaching us these very important ways to use plants.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Luspenchief]

Love you brother! It's always a treat to get your e-mails. Makes me feel like i have someone looking out for me. Info is always appreciated!!

[@leavethemkidsalone860]

Awesome video. Thank you. There is a lot of common sense here that people have forgotten about.

[@bradlafferty]

I always get something useful out of your videos. Thank you for doing the work to teach us!

[@_FZ06]

Thanks Matthew, do you have a chart of all these plants, their function, harvesting and dosages? If not... that would be great merch!

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

I'm working on a book this year! Thanks for watching

[@karenbearden6198]

Very thankful for your videos, and sharing your wisdom.

[@johnnyjames9705]

Thank You !!!! Great presentation. I'm on this.

[@stevenkeeffe]

Still laughing over the bathtub scene, lol.

[@allenmillsaps1009]

Id like to see a video about the hardy citrus. Poncirus trifoliata

[@SleepyHead76]

I love your channel. I always learn something. I saw a place that has about 20 yellow dock. I’ll go and relook now.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Glad you're learning, thank you for watching and following!!

[@sheilamailhes3329]

Thank you

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Thanks for watching!

[@GrandmomZoo]

Thank you😊

[@Carolynn-p9f]

It is very high in oxalates, so definitely cook it first, and change the water. The leaves are way higher in content than the roots but, if you are sensitive, follow the cooking process to drain oxalates out.

[@JoeandAngie]

Great channel. Every vhdeo is helpful.

[@ncsgrocker]

Enjoyed the presentation. Need to write a book. Building my library so needs to be in print. E books don’t work well with no power

[@Babypapayaproductions]

Missed you!!

[@robertdodd9623]

Always called that Sour Dock here in East Texas. The heads/seeds are pretty good sized at maturity.

[@Fallujarhead]

Yeah I was wondering if it's the same as sourdock bc my yard is full of it. It looks the same to me.

[@robertdodd9623]

@Fallujarhead I assume it is, not sure ? Don't make the best Hay that's for sure, we are covered up with it

[@Jesus_is_All_we_need]

Bundle it up and sell it locally fresh. Dried and you can ship it to everyone everywhere!

[@CJ-sv9yt]

Great content thank you ❤

[@rstepp4]

Another super great informative video and loved the hilarious ending! 😅

[@jerrytalley802]

Could you dry them on a low setting in a food dehydrator?

[@garyblake9445]

Hi Matthew I was given a root years ago for a mouth ulcer. The old guy called it yellow root. Is this what you are speaking about?

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

No yellowroot is a different plant, Xanthorhiza simplicissima.

[@wishesandrainbows7937]

Is that golden dock?

[@ChevyCoolLady]

i love your videos

[@msbrendasnow]

Thank you so much. I grew up in rural NC but now live in SW Florida. You may have hit on the answer to my skin problem plus fatty liver. I also have stomach problems, probably because of all the antibiotics I take. I'm going to try it, shall I let you know how I fair? sincerely Brenda

[@KarenKinserlow]

Very good I know natural remedies are better for you

[@Walkerbtween]

Any reports/research regarding the efficacy of yellow dock reducing rosacea symptoms?

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

Yes, I double checked for you and Dr. Jillian Stansbury includes dock in one of her acne rosacea formulas. It's used particularly if there is rosacea paired with signs of poor digestion (bloating, feeling full for too long after meals, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, etc. This goes back to what I briefly mentioned in the video about about skin problems having their root cause in low stomach acid and poor digestion/ gut health in general.

[@jasonhopson7280]

You are welcome to come to my place in Surry Co. , N.C. anytime ! Great info

[@paulgroth3345]

Please come get the Pacific Northwest especially the Olympic Peninsula add to this all over again. May the grace of God lead you and protect you

[@chelinfusco6403]

👍Great video. I have looked for yellow dock in my area for several years with no successes. Does it prefer to grow near water like in this video? I didn't know that if that is the case. We have about 9 acres and no yellow dock, burdock, or comfrey. I've been able to grow comfrey, but not burdock or yellow dock. We live in central South Carolina zone 8b (I think... it was changed and now my world is not the same, 😅) I would like suggestions on where to look for yellow dock or if it is possible to grow it in zone 8b, or 8a, or just 8. Thanks. (PS: I've been able to grow other wild medicinal herbs that we didn't have in our land, but not this one, and we need this one).

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

It likes a little bit of extra moisture and full sun. I usually see it growing it ditches on the side of the road. It's really easy to find after it goes to seed because the seeds have a dark brown color that is easy to see from far off

[@mrmcbeth]

I definitely would have thought those were turnip greens at first.

[@teresastrayhorn1813]

I love how you jumped in the bath with all your clothes on. I respect your modesty and I LOVE your content. What state do you live in? I’m in Northeast Texas.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

We're in NE Louisiana

[@teresastrayhorn1813]

@ I love that area! It’s beautiful! 😍

[@vickigonya9432]

Lol!!! The bath was great!😂 I do have it in my yard. My question is-- after 2 years of EXTREME frustration trying to kill fleas, I drenched my entire yard with pyrethrins, and any & every spray back to back to back for a couple months. Finally used muratic acid on the concrete sidewalk, driveway and patio. So can i use the ones in my yard or should i go into the woods to forage for it? Is it available in health food stores already dried?

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

May be best to look for it elsewhere. It's easy to find online and some stores may sell it as well. My general rule of thumb is to wait about 6 months after pesticides have been used before harvesting from that location.

[@ohiograssman1564]

Ive seen/encountered just about everything you've mentioned so far- a lot of it grows right in my yard 😂. Need to get my neighbor to stop mowing it down; its useful to me!

[@aryan1956]

Interesting. If you bathe in it, does it stain the skin?

[@47retta]

Is any part of this plant high in oxalates?

[@jerrytalley802]

If you don’t need a lot, do you just harvest a small amount, and leave the rest to grow back, or harvest and dry a lot, keep in a jar for later.

[@brentcampbell7178]

Since it's yellow does it have berberine in it.

[@Blackwataa]

Thanks for the info. Enjoy the bath brother lol 😆

[@jenniferinthe3094]

lol. Great video ty!

[@woundeddove]

Magnesium & Vitamin D are more important !

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Lol /

[@roberttelarket4934]

If that were true the whole world would be using it and your problems would disappear! Well that hasn’t happened!

[@903.customs]

I would love if you know someone in the rural east Texas area who is a forager or someone or somewhere i can acquire some of the things you feature. Especially this, but others also. I'm in a wheelchair and while I'd love to forage for my own stuff, I can't get the electric power wheelchair to go into the woods. I have cancer presently and don't have a doctor. I had a doctor but I refused to take his advice on chemotherapy and he fired me, since then no other doctor will take me, so I've been just living with lung cancer and presently I try to do all of my medicine with herbs. I've had difficulty getting some of the ingredients. There's been several things you've shown me that I see. And wish I could get but I'm alone and don't know how. I have a care giver who takes care of me 6 hours a day but she can't go into the forest for me. I was trying to use some herbal medicine from the health food stores but I make less than 1K a month on disability benefits and spend all but 64 dollars a month on living & care so I'm limited in my ability to acquire extras. I've been living life like this, on disability benefits since 2014 when I got cancer the first time and have grown accustomed to barely making ends meet. I noticed you mentioned a couple of times you're interested in people being able to get FREE meds, I don't want anything for free but I'd sure love some of the things you dig up or scrape off of a tree in a care package... if you know any foragers let me know please 🙏

fenbendazole and its promising anticancer biological activities, such as inhibiting glycolysis, down-regulating glucose uptake, inducing oxidative stress, and enhancing apoptosis in published experimental studies.The anti-cancer activity of fenbendazole has been studied across many cell lines, demonstrating anti-tumor effects against multiple cancer types. fenbendazole can lead to cancer cell starvation and reverse drug resistance, aiding cancer treatment. Famous case Tippens, Tippens began self-administering 222 mg fenbendazole orally, along with vitamin E supplements, CBD oil, and bioavailable curcumin. After three months of self-administration, a PET scan revealed no detectable cancer cells in his body. Cancer feeds on sugar [glucose] and fenbendozole inhibits this process and increases cancer cell death- apoptosis, It's heap, readily available at farm supply stores , cheaper by larger volume. Good luck, praying for you. ar.iiarjournals.org/content/44/9/3725

[@SourceAwryT]

Have you heard of azole antifungals being used to treat cancers? I am no doctor, but I read alot. There is an otc dog dewormer called fenbendazole that, when taken with specific supplements like vitamin e, cures some lung cancers. Look up the Joe Tippens story. I am currently residing in Fort Worth. Are you far from me? Cheers!
