Blue Flag Root C/S WC (Wild Crafted)

Blue Flag Root comes from a wildflower (actually a species of iris) known to the scientific community as Iris versicolor. This attractive flowering herb is native to the sedge meadows, marshlands and riverbanks of North America, and is an official symbol of the Canadian province of Quebec.

Iris versicolor is indeed a natural herb in the technical sense: it has no woody stem, grows above ground and dies back at the end of each growing season. However, the useful part is the blue flag root. It is thought to have stimulating effects on the lymphatic system, helping the body to rid itself of toxins, and may be useful for its laxative and diuretic properties as well.
