Bloodroot Powder– 1/4 pound —  Primary ingredient in the Black Salve formula. Increasingly difficult to source and at risk to become endangered-–   Bloodroot is a remedy herb used in formulations such as traditional Black Salve. It can also be used to prepare extracts/tinctures, salves, ointments, or in a medicinal tea blend. Bloodroot is a primary ingredient in our Black Salve Cream and Black Salve Tablets. See How to Make a Medicinal Tea for methods to prepare it for maximum benefits. As a tea, depending all upon the strength you prepare, drink 1 to 3 cups per day, spread out by 4-6 hours between cups. Take with food if it bothers your stomach. For mouth and throat issues, divide the cup into 3 portions and slowly sip tea over a 15 minute period each time.  If taking on an empty stomach, it can be taken either 30 minutes before food or 2 hours after eating.

To prepare a daily tea–

•   CUP–  Single Use;  1/2 teaspoon to 8 oz. filtered water, steep or simmer on lowest setting covered for 15-20 minutes, strain. Drink 1 cup per day.

•  QUART–  Therapeutic Level 3 cups per day;  1 level tablespoon to 1 quart of distilled water, simmer on the lowest setting covered for 15-20 minutes, strain.  Average dosage; 1 to 3 cups per day for 14 days, stop 1 week, and repeat as needed.

Refrigerate any unsued tea and use within 5 days for maximum potency.

Taking 1 Detox Enzyme tablet with the product will also increase detox benefits.  As an optional liver detoxifier and body alkalizer, add fresh squeezed lemon to each cup. For throat, mouth, gum, and other oral issues, use the tea in concentrate form as a gargle and mouth rinse.  As a mouth rinse use twice daily, as a gargle up to 5 times daily. As a gargle, just swallow after gargling. Another way people have used this as a medicinal tea is to prepare a cup and take a sip or gargle and swallow, multiple times per day, to bathe the mouth and throat with the plant properties. If using it this way, simply prepare the cup of tea and keep it on the counter– in this method, refrigeration is not needed because you will be drinking the 1 cup prepared tea in the same day. There really are no Studies or scientific information out there for us to follow so we are using information collected from our clients and customers over about 40 years +.  If using the tea as a gargle, swallow after each use and repeat gargling all throughout the day to finish consuming 1 full cup each day. If you make a cup of tea and want to only use it more limited times, refrigerate the prepared herb and again, consume within 5 days for maximum potency. If gargling, most people will do this about 5 times per day spread out.

If you want to use the Black Salve Tea in place of the single Bloodroot herb, see the Bloodroot Tea for details and use. The formulation includes Bloodroot in addtion to organic red clover blossoms, organic galangal,  and organic sheep sorrel. Those with kidney disease should talk to their health care professional prior to taking. Sheep Sorrel is high in oxalates which often need to be LOW with these kidney problems. Taking a small amount should not be an issue but taking it therapeutically or in an ongoing manner, seek out their advise on how or whether it can be used in your case. If you have serious issues and cannot use any Sheep Sorrel, contact our office and inquire about formulating this tea with NO Sheep Sorrel and replacement of Chanca Piedra in its place. Chanca Piedra is excellent for kidney health specifically and is commonly called the “stone-breaker”.  \

Origin: Organica Herb & Tea Formula

If you have a serious health issue and have a particular herb that you believe could be beneficial, simply add this to the tea blend. For example, if you are battling yeast issues or candida, you can also add pau d arco, neem, or other anti-fungal herbs. If you have inflammation that is excessive and ongoing, try adding in turmeric and/or cinnamon. There are countless herbs for countless situations that by adding an additional herb can be both helpful and may increase the benefits of the overall blend. When adding an additional herb(s), you are not ruining the original formulation but rather customizing it for your individual needs.
