Roots Blood Building Tonic Syrup
Jan 18, 2021
This recipe is a mixture of three of the plants we have highlighted for spring. We use the roots of yellow dock, dandelion and burdock . They work together to synthesize into a powerful blood supporting tonic, along with blackstrap molasses.
Yellow dock supports digestion and helps the body rid itself of impurities. It can increase iron absorption, pairing it with the blackstrap molasses helps the body uptake and use the iron present in the molasses. It is cooling and astringent and helps to calm the blood.
Burdock is known to energize the blood by purifying and supporting its tone and enhancing its quality. Because of its antioxidant properties, it also helps to move and direct the blood, as well as supports detoxing, and is a powerful antibacterial.
Ingredients
- 2 Parts fresh yellow dock root
- 1 Part each fresh dandelion root and burdock root
- 2- 3 cups water
- Blackstrap molasses
Directions
Bring all roots to a boil then reduce heat to simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Strain roots add in black strap molasses equal to half of the water. (ie: 1 ½ C water would be ¾ C Blackstrap molasses) Seal and
refrigerate. Take 1tbs daily as needed.
