Yellow Dock Medicine (Rumex crispus)

[@jeas4980]

You made this 4 years ago and I wish I'd seen it 14 years ago. I have this chore of a weed all over my yard... I also have/had: Crohns, HS, fibroid tumors, uterine prolapse, rosacia, cyctic acne, and debilitating anemia. It's like God has been yelling at me this entire time and I wasn't listening.

I dried the seeds and removed the husks....and I made the most comfortable pillow with the seeds! I sleep like a baby! Lol

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing, I might try that myself this fall. They are in the buckwheat family, so that makes sense that they could make a similar type pillow inside

Do you have some secret to removing the husks? Sounds like that would take 10 years Lol

[@seasonofthewitch4209]

@@Herbal_Jedi Loving your videos. Still having problems with confidentially identifying the young plants. But I am trying to watch on a small phone. But when you were talking about identifying you didn't show a close up of the leaf you had in your hand or a close up of the young plant you dug up with the pitchfork. But the picture of the grown plant definitely looks familiar. I have some in the unmanaged part of my property. Anyway I'm on a mission to find a certain herb or weed, not even sure what to call it since I haven't found it... Or maybe I have but you just didn't mention a certain use for it since so many of them have numerous benefits...lol.. doubt if that made any sense... Anyway on to one of your other videos...

We’ve been using a spit poultice of yellow dock leaves on FIRE ANT bites the last few years. It works amazingly well to cool down the hot sting in seconds.

[@carathorsven3326]

It typically grows near nettle and is great for nettle stings too!

For me it's a life saver with the number of ants we have in the desert. I chew up the leaf and apply it to the ant bite. I have leaves frozen in the freezer to have them available at all times.

[@graciehp]

I was actually look for yellow dock a few months ago, and had no clue it grew in my yard! I ended up making a deco room with burdock instead, because I had it on hand. It was for a mom that was anemic after a post partum hemorrhage and blood transfusion. She reacted badly to the pharmaceutical iron supplements. The dedication worked and in a month she was feeling herself and bloodwork showed she was no longer anemic!

And back to what Real Medicine Once Was💪👍. My question is how long do I let the root dry!?I heard u say yours was a couple days drying .is that all thats needed or is there a longer period for drying .thx for what ya do....Im a beginner and love this amazing information. Wonderful day to you

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Granny taught us to put a dock leaf, on our skin, if we got stung by nettles. These 2 plants were introduced to BC from Great Britain, as herbal medicines, so she recognized them when she arrived from Scotland.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

The leaf stalk and central stem of the leaf is the best part of the plant to cure nettle stings.

[@michaelcolors]

Every day is an adventure! There are a few plants that work even better for nettle stings. It's easy to prove their validity with even one test! Leaf of: 1) purslane (Portulaca), 2) goldenrod, or 3) garden geranium (Pelargonium spp.), along with scented geranium. 💜

@@michaelcolors Or, chew up a plantain leaf just enough to release the juices then apply it to the affected area! Works very quickly.

[@michaelcolors]

@@loismegin8036 Hi Lois, thanks for sharing. Another confirmation for the work that I do with the Chinese 5 Elements!! Plantain is another plant that carries an Earth vibration (but very few people are able to grow it far north of the tropics zone). Stinging nettle carries a Water vibration. Hence the 5E mnemonic: Earth dams Water, which means that Earth vibration plants overpower, or weaken the effects of Water vibration plants. 🏋💜

I've noticed that certain 'weeds' grow in proliferation at certain times in my permaculture garden. On reflection and with a bit of research they are always the plant needed at that time for particular things that need attention in the body...for example borage has been abundant since I needed that to help with the onset of menopause and plantain major bloomed when hubby came back from the amazon with a new friend leishmaniasis...poultices and tea really helped the wound healing!

Stay out of my brain Yarrow. I went hunting for curly dock yesterday. I saw a bunch of second year curly dock growing up and down the road. It seems to be a cleaver and curly dock year here in Pittsboro, NC. One comment I took note of last week was that people with covid are showing up with increased levels of free iron in the blood and skin discoloration appearances and I immediately thought of yellow dock. Would it be ok to use this with cleavers?

Yes it would.. I have made formulas with both in the past as they are both great cleansing herbs

Good to see you, plant Yoda. May the force be with you.

[@robertshrewsbury4241]

Yellow Doc has oxalic acid in it and so this tends to block iron absorption. People with Anemia stay away from oxalates because they block iron absorption. I had a blood disease (Polycythemia) where I had too many red-blood-cells and I took oxalates to reduce my red cells and it worked, so my Hemoglobin went from 55 gdl's down to normal at 16 gdl's and even after two years it is still normal.
