Alumroot Capsules (20)

20 capsules Heuchera rubescens. Alumroot can be taken for treating diarrhea. Take 1 to 2 capsules with water, when needed.

Alumroot is often overlooked unless it is in bloom. In the springtime many small flowers, ranging in color from pinkish-white to light green, bloom intermittently on leafless spikes. They tend to cluster along one side of the stem. The leaves are basal, ranging from ½ to one inch across. The root is large, scaly from dead growth, and usually angled out or even downward from rock crevices. It has a dark coating and inner pith that ranges from flesh colored to pink.

Constituents: Includes tannin, phlebotannins, and assorted polyhydric phenols with galloyl glucosides.

Hemorrhaging – For ulcers of the stomach and esophagus take one capsule in warm water twice daily.
Stomach Aid – Open two capsules dried root and simmer in one cup of water for twenty minutes. Take in small doses to ease vomiting and diarrhea.
Throat Aid – Prepare the Alumroot following directions for stomach aid, adding one teaspoon chopped Oregon Grape root to the cup of water. Gargle with the mixture.
Wounds – The powdered dried root may be applied to cuts and abrasions to promote clotting. It is excellent mixed with equal parts of Goldthread to treat such wounds.
