Horse Sorrel Root, 40g (Alphabet of Herbs)

Title: Horse Sorrel Root (40g) – Herbal Remedy for Digestive & Skin Health

Description:

Horse sorrel root, in moderate doses, offers astringent properties, while larger doses act as a laxative. Its therapeutic benefits include hemostatic (blood-clotting), hypotensive (blood pressure lowering), and anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) effects, stimulating the large intestine’s musculature. Internally, it’s used as an astringent or laxative (dose-dependent) for gastrointestinal issues like enteritis, colitis, and atonic constipation; hemorrhoids; anal fissures; and as a hemostatic and anthelmintic agent. It also promotes bile production and excretion, helping prevent hypo- and avitaminosis. Externally, horse sorrel infusions and decoctions are used as mouthwashes for inflammatory conditions such as angina and ulcerative stomatitis. Traditional medicine also employs horse sorrel root to treat various skin ailments.
