A Powerful Lymphatic & Circulatory Tonic for Detox & Immune Support
Red Root is a strongly astringent and detoxifying herb, traditionally used in North American Indigenous medicine and Western herbalism for lymphatic system support, immune resilience, and circulatory health. Rich in tannins, alkaloids, and flavonoids, Red Root is a potent herbal ally for cleansing the body and enhancing blood flow.
Key Benefits & Uses
Red Root is valued for its lymphatic, astringent, and circulatory-supporting properties, making it a trusted botanical for:
✔️ Lymphatic drainage & detox support: Traditionally used to promote lymphatic circulation and clear stagnation
✔️ Immune resilience: Helps the body process infections by supporting lymphatic and spleen function
✔️ Circulatory health: Encourages blood flow and supports healthy blood viscosity
✔️ Liver & spleen support: Traditionally used to strengthen and protect the spleen and liver
✔️ Digestive wellness: Astringent action helps with gut inflammation and mild diarrhea
✔️ Oral & gum health: Traditionally used as a mouth rinse for gum infections and inflammation
How to Use
🌿 Tea/Decoction: Simmer dried Red Root in hot water for a deeply cleansing and astringent tonic
🌿 Tincture: A concentrated extract for lymphatic, immune, and circulatory support
🌿 Capsules: A convenient option for ongoing detox and immune wellness
🌿 Topical Compress or Gargle: Used externally for swollen lymph nodes, bruises, or gum health
Sustainability & Sourcing
At Soulshine Wellness Co., we ensure our Red Root is ethically wildcrafted and sustainably sourced, preserving its potent medicinal properties while protecting native plant populations.
Safety & Considerations
⚠️ Strongly drying—best combined with moistening herbs if prone to dryness
⚠️ May slow blood clotting—avoid use if on anticoagulants or before surgery
⚠️ Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to its astringent effects
⚠️ Use in moderation, as high doses may cause digestive sensitivity
