Senega Root Cut

Seneca root, also known as snakeroot or rattlesnake root, is a remarkable flowering plant from the Polygalaceae family. Typically found in North America, this plant thrives in southern Canada and the central and eastern United States. The plant’s name honours the Seneca people, a Native American group who used the plant to treat snake bites.

Senega Root has a knotty crown with slender stems. It is light yellowish in colour, up to 1 cm thick. Senega Root has an acrid taste and a wintergreen-like aroma and contains triterpenoid saponins, phenolic acids and oligosaccharide esters amongst other compounds.

Senega root has a long past among Native American tribes. The Cherokee valued it as an expectorant and diuretic, and for treating inflammation, croup, and the common cold. The Chippewa used it to treat convulsions and bleeding wounds, while the Cree found it effective for sore throats and toothaches.
