Iron Deficiency: The Role that Yellow Dock Root Might Play
Christian Food for Thought:
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH... (KJV Bible, 3 John 2)
Although foods such as nuts, egg yolks and meats are rich in the mineral Iron, they are also high in calories. Some people, for health reasons, are temporarily on a vegetarian diet. Others are allergic to nuts or choose to consume egg yolks only rarely to cut down on their intake of cholesterol. It's often either forgotten or unknown by the average person that plants are also a source of herbal iron and should be relied upon to prevent iron deficiency. Some contain far greater quantities of the mineral than others, therefore, the type of plant chosen to supplement one's iron intake is very important.
If foods like nuts, egg yolks and meats aren't someone's primary source of iron for a period of time, why wouldn't he simply opt for an iron supplement? Iron supplements are widely available in health food stores and supermarkets. Many multi-vitamin supplements also include at least the daily amount of iron recommended by the USDA. There are, however, many disadvantages to ingesting inorganic chemical iron from these sources. Chemical iron can greatly irritate the stomach, causes intense headaches, is extremely difficult to assimilate, and can be fatal if taken in excess. Herbal iron presents none of these health risks while fighting conditions such as iron deficiency anemia.
Yellow Dock Root: A Gift from God
The medicinal plant commonly referred to as yellow dock contains amounts of natural herbal iron high enough to prevent iron deficiency (Clarence Meyer, Old Ways Rediscovered [Glenwood, IL: Meyerbooks, 1988], 30). This knowledge could prove extremely beneficial for females since they have a greater tendency to be deficient in iron due to the demands of menstruation and pregnancy.
An iron-rich decoction (herbal iron) can easily be made from the dried roots of yellow dock which should be available in health food stores that still sell bulk herbs. A heaping teaspoon of the dried root is gently simmered in a cup of water for at least fifteen minutes. The tea is then strained and sweetened with a natural sweetener such as honey in order to better tolerate the very bitter taste. It might also help to allow the decoction to cool to room temperature so it may be drank quickly. A strong cup of yellow dock tea may be drank once per week on a regular basis to help prevent an iron deficiency. If a deficiency has already developed, more may be drank only until the problem is corrected.
There may be other medical reasons for having an iron deficiency that need the attention of a physician. However, whenever a supplement is recommended, few natural sources are better than the organic and readily available iron found in yellow dock root.
Based on true events, The Third Man by Angela Sheffield, brings the Bible up close and personal as the characters face real issues of life: Betrayal, deceit, romance, bitterness, anger against God, hopelessness, will power, perplexity, triumph, unforgiveness, mental illness, and the "Alcohol made me do it" excuse.
