Traditional Uses: to relieve itchy, eruptive skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne; reduce glandular swellings, boils, take the heat out of insect stings/bites, promote wound healing, and restore a healthy skin barrier.
If you are prone to eruptive skin conditions they usually begin with the dreaded itch and the urge to scratch. Persistent scratching results in the skin barrier being broken, which then leaves it open to infection.
The external application of Yellow dock root to heal skin conditions may have fallen by the wayside in recent years, but old-time herbalists used it both internally and externally to heal all kinds of skin conditions. As children we rubbed the leaves of yellow dock on nettle stings. Pau D’Arco is a South American herb with a long history of treating fungal and microbial infections. It is rich in anti-oxidants that help to repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
