This native North American plant is well established in Native American herbal medicine. In France, the herb is known, and appreciated, as Veronique and in Germany, as Leptandra Wurzel. It was introduced by Dr. Culver into white man’s medicine and is hence also known as Culver’s Root.

In the South, where it is still used extensively in folk medicine, it is known as Black Root.

The very broad range of maladies, with seemingly no specific origin, which respond favorably to this herb, make it easy to understand why it is so widely and effectively used throughout the South for many kinds of the miseries. Certainly, Culver’s Root is, observably, a good bowel cleaner, but much more.

It may also work especially well on the vital area of the duodenum [first 12 inches of the small intestine], where acid treated food from the stomach meets with the anti-acid secretions in the small intestine and produce a great deal of the body’s heat.

It is vital to the body that this area be balanced between acid and antacid activities, otherwise so many kinds of unpleasant disorders and just plain, feeling bad and miseries can occur.

Culver’s Root works on lazy and or congested conditions of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, both the small and large intestines and restores them to normal and balanced activity.

Here is a partial list of disorders for which Culver’s Root may be useful: for fevers [including serious types], expel worms, jaundice [yellow whites of eyes and skin due to congested liver and gallbladder and or infection], swollen glands, infant diarrhea, chronic constipation, syphilitic impurities, sallow complexion, dull frontal headache, thick and white coated tongue and to remedy the condition of pleurisy [excess fluid accumulation around lungs and or heart, with stabbing pain and shortness of breath, short, dry cough, chilliness].

Suggested use
