Native to Europe, Yellowdock is a perennial that grows in fields and meadows that are common throughout the United States and Southern Canada.
The long golden-hued tap root is cursed by farmers and proud home owners as a troublesome intruder, but praised by old time doctors, early settlers, and herbal practitioners. The greatest medicinal value comes from the yellowish spindle-shaped root.
The tea scarcely has any odour, but an astringent taste that feels very satisfying especially after a hearty meal.

Suggested Use:
Directions:
• Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
• Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
• If you desire a medicinal tea: This herb has a tough cellular structure and some heat is required to release all of its medicinal properties and flavour. Use one tea bag per cup of hot water in a stainless steel or glass pot, cover, boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes. This is known as the decoction method. Extra tea can be kept in a covered glass jar for a day or two in the refrigerator.
• If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 5 to 7 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
