Yellow dock is a perennial plant found as a troublesome weed in fields and waste places in Europe, the U.S. and southern Canada. Its spindle shaped, yellow taproot sends up a smooth rather slender stem, 1 to 3 feet high. Lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate in shape, the pointed light green leaves have predominantly wavy margins. The lower leaves are larger and longer petioled than the upper. Blooming from June to July, the numerous pale green, drooping flowers are loosely whorled in panicled racemes. The fruit is a pointed, three-angled and heart shaped nut.

Astringent, cholagogue, tonic. Known as a medicinal plant since ancient times, yellow dock has been used as a laxative or mild astringent tonic. In the nineteenth century, it was considered a blood purifier and was prescribed for eruptive diseases, such as scrofula, and skin problems. The ointment is valuable for itching, sores, swellings, and scabby eruptions. American Indians applied crushed yellow dock leaves to boils and the pulverized roots to cuts. Water dock has similar medicinal uses except that it is also used for stomach problems. A wineglassful of the decoction taken three time a day has been recommended for stomach ailments.
