Burdock • Yellow Dock • Vegetable Glycerine
Root Tonic is a slow-crafted herbal glycerite made with burdock root and yellow dock root, two deeply respected alternative herbs traditionally used to support the body’s natural cleansing and restorative processes.
This formula is rooted in ancestral herbal wisdom and gentle enough for regular use, offering nourishment rather than force.
The Roots at Work
Burdock Root (Gobo)
Known as gobo in Japanese foodways, burdock is both nourishment and medicine. Traditionally used to support liver and kidney function, burdock helps encourage healthy circulation to the skin and movement through the lymphatic system. It has a long history of use in dry, scaly, and congested skin patterns and is beloved for its ability to gently move stagnation while soothing the digestive and respiratory tissues. Rich in inulin, burdock also supports gut health and balanced blood sugar as a food-based ally.
Yellow Dock Root
Yellow dock is one of the most mineral-rich herbs in the dock family and has been traditionally used to build and nourish the blood. It supports healthy digestion and bile flow, gently stimulates the liver, and is often included in formulas for skin imbalances and lymphatic congestion and iron support. Yellow dock carries a long folk history of use for restoring vitality when the body feels depleted or sluggish.
