Rumex crispus - Certified Organic, grain alcohol 60%, spring water. Strength 1:5.
Used as a gentle laxative; supports healthy liver detoxification.*
Summary: Yellow dock is the kinder, gentler alternative to laxatives made with buckthorn, cascara sagrada, frangula, rhubarb, or senna. It encourages both bowel movement and good digestion by stimulating the release of gastric juices.
Additional Info: The University of Michigan Health System notes the use of yellow dock for the support and detoxification of the liver. Yellow dock is traditionally used an an alternative medicine for liver problems and skin conditions caused by liver problems. A tincture of yellow dock in the amount of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon taken three times per day is recommended to treat liver problems.
Precautions: If you experience cramping, you've taken too much. Start with the smallest recommended dose (usually 6 grams or 3 rounded teaspoons a day) and increase dosage slowly until you get the desired effect. Unlike small doses of rhubarb, small doses of yellow dock are not constipating. Don't take yellow dock or any other stimulant laxative if you take Lasix (furosemide); the combination can lead to potassium depletion. Not known to be safe during pregnancy, although no complications have ever been reported. Not recommended for use while suffering from Kidney stones.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
