Bloodroot is a flowering perennial native to eastern North America. Sanguinaria canadensis exudes a red liquid from its freshly cut roots, earning it the name blood root. It was utilized in traditional indigenous healing practices for its wellness-supporting properties and was later adopted into folk herbalism. Bloodroot powder can be tinctured or used in topical applications.
Limited supply and at risk (use consciously)
Bloodroot is a low-growing woodland herb that grows in the north central United States and the prairie provinces in Canada. The red juice pressed from the fresh root is poisonous when taken internally. Other common names include red puccoon and red root (not to be confused with Ceanothus americanus).
