Common names for blood root include red root, red indian paint, and tetterwort. This bitter root affects the lungs, heart, liver, and blood, and it has been used historically to help support complaints such as coughs, sore throat, skin eruptions, skin problems, athlete's foot, and gum health. Biochemically speaking, the herb contains isoquinoline alkaloids, including sanguinarine, berberine, coptisine, and others. The healthy actions of the herb may be expectorant, stimulant, alterative, diuretic, febrifuge, sedative, or emetic in larger doses.
Bloodroot is primarily used as an expectorant for acute and chronic coughs, nasal congestion, laryngitis, sore throat, asthma with thick white phlegm, and croup. For pneumonia use doses of one to two drops taken repeatedly throughout the day. It also combines well in cough syrups with eucalyptus, wild cherry bark, elecampane and honey.
Externally it is applied as a liquid extract, powder, or most often as an ointment for the potential to help support symptoms of a wide variety of skin affections, including athlete's foot and other fungoid complaints, skin problems and burns. Most recently it has been used as pan of a dentifrice in a small amount with cinnamon bark, bayberry bark, prickly ash, and other agents to help support gum health and sensitive teeth. Bloodroot is used in a salve often called black paste for skin problems, moles, and other topical excrescences.

Blood Root Sanguinaria canadensis L. Papaveniceae, Poppy family.
Other Common Names: Red Puccoon, Indian Paint, Tetterwort.
Blood Root is native to North America, east of the Great Plains from Canada, south to Florida. It is found in rich and usually open woodlands.
Blood Root is one of the very first plants to flower in the spring. As it first rises out of the ground, the single, small, reniform (kidney-shaped), lobed leaf is wrapped around the bud. Once out of the ground, the bud swiftly outgrows its protecting leaf. The flower bursts free of two enclosing sepals which fall away to expose eight to twelve spreading white petals. In the center of the petals is a cluster of golden stamens, usually twice as many stamens as the number of petals. The flower is followed in late spring by a slender, two-valved seed capsule containing numerous seeds. During the rest of the growing season, the leaf comes into its own and can attain a size of twelve inches across.
When fresh, the root is about the size and shape of a man's finger; when cut or broken, it bleeds a red juice. Indians used the root medicinally, and to paint their bodies for various occasions.
Calling the plant by its Indian name, Puccoon, John Smith wrote in 1612, "Pocones is a small root that groweth in the mountains which being dryed and beate in powder turneth red and this they use for swellings, aches, annointing their joints, painting their heads and garments." But that's not all they painted. "...and at night where his lodging is appointed, they set a woman fresh painted red with Pocones and oile, to be his bedfellow."
Colonel William Byrd, Virginia planter and scholar, in his History of the Dividing Line, (North Carolina - Virginia) wrote that such practices were still going on in 1729, much to the chagrin of the chaplain of his survey party, who "observ'd with concern that the Ruffles of Some of our Pellow Travellers were a little discolor'd with pochoon, wherewith the good Man had been told those Ladies us'd to improve their invisible charms." My research indicates that this is the first recorded case in the New World of what in modern times is known as "lipstick on the collar, telling a tale on you!"
Blood Root is still used today as a natural vegetable dye largely for wool and other textiles, now that body painting, after a brief resurgence in the 1960's, has decreased in popularity. Some excellent white oak splint basketry is still woven by the Cherokees. The splints are often dyed with Blood Root to give them a soft red color.
Health-wise,the dried rhizome of the Blood Root was official in the United States Pharmacopea from 1820 till 1926, and remained in the National Formulary from 1925 to 1965, classed as a stimulating expectorant, emetic, tonic and alterative. The plant, if taken internally, should be used with caution because, it is poisonous in all but small doses. The powder can be used as a snuff for nasal polyps. Injections of the strong tea can be used to help support hemorrhoids and vaginal infections. In small doses internally as a decoction, it acts as a stimulant to the digestive organs, as an expectorant in respiratory problems and in liquid extract form to help support liver ailments. In larger doses it may act as an emetic.
