Red Root
Red Root (*Ceanothus americanus*), also known as New Jersey tea, is a powerful herb traditionally used for its lymphatic and circulatory benefits. It is particularly effective in supporting the lymphatic system, helping to clear congestion and promote the removal of toxins from the body. By enhancing lymph flow and reducing swollen lymph nodes, Red Root aids the immune system and improves overall health. Its astringent properties also make it helpful in addressing conditions such as sore throats, gum disease, and gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, as it tones tissues and reduces inflammation.
In addition to its lymphatic benefits, Red Root supports respiratory health by reducing chest congestion and alleviating coughs caused by colds or bronchial irritation. It has also been used to improve blood quality and circulation, helping to manage conditions related to sluggish blood flow or excessive clotting. The herb’s antioxidant properties further enhance its ability to protect cells from damage and support healing processes. While generally safe when used in appropriate doses, Red Root should be used cautiously by individuals with certain blood-clotting disorders or on anticoagulant medications. Its ability to purify the body, strengthen immunity, and support overall vitality highlights its importance in traditional herbal medicine.
