Possessing many uses, it can be used as a wild leaf vegetable; the young leaves should be boiled in several changes of water to remove as much of the oxalic acid in the leaves as possible or can be added directly to salads in moderate amounts. Curly Dock enjoys the full sun, moist to dry conditions, and coarse soil. It withstands drought, temporary flooding, and occasional mowing. The seeds can persist in the ground for several decades and still remain viable. Yellow dock leaves and roots have been used historically to improve digestion, remove toxins from the body, and are often taken as a gentle laxative.
