Yellow Dock Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) is curly dock, a robust perennial of the knotweed family, Polygonaceae, native to Europe and western Asia and now one of the most widespread weeds of North American fields, roadsides and waste ground. It forms a rosette of long, narrow, lanceolate leaves with distinctly wavy, crisped margins and sends up a stout stem 50 to 150 cm tall carrying dense whorls of small greenish flowers that mature into rusty brown, three-winged fruit that persist through winter. The thick taproot is dark brown outside and bright yellow-orange when cut. We extract the dried root.
