Yellow Dock Root comes from the plant Rumex crispus, also known as yellow dock or curled dock. It has a long history of use in both herbal medicine and folk magic, particularly for its deeply grounding and purifying qualities. The root is valued for its ability to clear built-up stagnation while strengthening the body and spirit over time.

In magical herb lore, Yellow Dock is most commonly associated with purification, protection, grounding, strength, and endurance. These qualities reflect its strong Earth alignment and traditional role in healing and restorative work rather than attraction or prosperity magic. Classical herbal and folk-magic sources emphasize its use in cleansing, fortifying, and long-term support work connected to physical and spiritual resilience, rather than associations with specific mythological deities.

Yellow Dock Root has traditionally been used to support anemia, especially when combined with alfalfa and other iron-rich herbs.
