How To Identify Blood Root

Blood Root is a common low-growing plant in the eastern United States that is very unique. It has only one leaf per plant and that leaf grows straight up. A week or two after the leaves come out of the soil the flowers begin to blossom with their bright white color sticking out among the browns of the forest floor. The flowers usually will have anywhere from 7-10 petals and a few days after booming the flowers will start to lose their petals with the lightest touch. A few inches below the soil lies the root, the medicinal part of the plant. If you take the root and scrape, cut, or damage it; it will "bleed" this red liquid. This is where it gets the name Blood Root. The root has some medicinal uses however I do not recommend using it unless you are 100% sure what you are doing and are prescribed this from a doctor, physician, homeopath or something along those lines. The reason being this root contains Sanguinarine which is said to cause Glaucoma according to some reports. Though externally this root can be used as a red skin dye or stain, it's also said to remove warts though I have not tried this yet. You could also use the root as a dye or stain for textiles or paint if you wanted to go through the effort. I thank you guys for watching this video and I hope you enjoyed it.
