A Blood Cleanser
Have you heard about bloodroot? Bloodroots (sanguinaria canadensis) are perennial plants in the poppy family that originated in North America. They have long been used in herbal medicines. Bloodroot grows primarily in North America and India. This plant goes by several other names, including redroot, bloodwort, etc.
The rhizomes and root of the plant contain an orange-red latex. Native Americans employed bloodroot extensively in ritual and medicine. The dye was used as a body paint. Native Americans have used bloodroot in blood purification, wound healing, pain and fever relief.
Bloodroot is different from burdock root, which has been used for thousands of years in Asia and Europe due to its antioxidant contents such as phenolic acids, quercetin and luteolin. The medicinal properties of the plant are derived from multiple alkaloids found within the rhizome. Sanguinarine and chelerythrine are the most well-studied particularly for their anticancer properties.
Red root has a long history of use in traditional medicine. People brewed the root as a tea and used it to treat colds, fever, pneumonia, digestive problems, toothaches, and urinary tract infections in women. Red root contains tannins and alkaloids and other compounds that provide antioxidant and antimicrobial health benefits. It is popular in homeopathic medicine, especially to support the health of the spleen and respiratory and lymphatic systems.
Amazing Health benefits of Bloodroot (Redroot) Include the Following:
- Purifies blood and reduces high blood pressure.
- Treats skin conditions such as skin infections, acne and eczema.
- Relieves respiratory issues such as cough, excess phlegm and sinus congestion.
- It is used in the mouthwash and toothpaste due to its antibacterial properties.
- Prevents cancers.
Red root dosage recommendations can vary depending on the product and how it’s manufactured. If you are considering trying this for a health condition, discuss it with a clinician first. The bloodroot plant, especially its juices, contains a poisonous alkaloid compound called sanguinarine and it is unsafe to consume sanguinarine in large amounts because this can cause symptoms such as skin damage, dizziness, breathing problems, slowed heart rate, vomiting, and fainting.

Goldenrod - A Natural Antibiotic
Let's talk about a weed that is a potent antibiotic.
Goldenrod grows in Europe, Asia, and North and other places of the world. It is often considered a weed. The plant’s yellow flowers bloom in late summer and early fall and there are more than 100 different species of goldenrod. Many of these have similar health benefits. The herb’s Latin name is Solidago, which means “to make whole or heal” and reflects its use in traditional herbal medicine. Goldenrod is a popular ingredient in herbal supplements and teas. It has been used externally for sores, infections, toothache, burns, and wounds. Internally, it is used for urinary infections, respiratory, and digestive issues.
Goldenrod provides many beneficial plant compounds, including saponins and flavonoid antioxidants such as quercetin and kaempferol. Saponins are particularly effective in inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast like Candida albicans, which is a fungus that can cause vaginal yeast infections and infections in other parts of the body. The flavonoid antioxidants quercetin and kaempferol in goldenrod help fight against free radicals.
Goldenrod is a premier decongestant, which can relieve upper respiratory issues including allergies, sinusitis, flu, or the common cold. Goldenrod is used by Native American people as a wash or poultice to help heal wounds, burns, open sores, and cuts. Many species of goldenrod have been used to relieve diarrhea due to their tannins and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions. Solidago species are typically bitter, warming, and pungent, which makes them useful carminative herbs for improving digestion. Goldenrod soothes inflamed urinary mucosal membranes through their demulcent, astringent, and anti-inflammatory actions. With its antimicrobial and diuretic properties, it flushes out bacteria by promoting urination.
