Bloodroot (Sangunaria canadensis) – Spiritualizes Intellect Bloodroot can enhance concentration, meditation, and creative visualization — especially for those who are too intellectual. It can be used as a catalyst for those who want to meditate. The mental and spiritual bodies are brought into greater alignment, functioning more as a single unit, thus spiritualizing the intellect. The heart chakra is activated with Bloodroot.
Bloodroot produces delicate white flowers in the spring and has been a Native American cure-all for centuries. It can help with digestive problems, respiratory issues, and skin ailments such as skin tumors and warts. Recent research also points to the power of this plant’s root system as a source of the powerful alkaloid Sanguinarine, which has long been known as a cancer fighter.
Bloodroot may be effective on skin cancers that pharmaceuticals are not, can stimulate cell death in leukemia cells, can inhibit breast cancer tumors, can induce mitochondrial dysfunction in colorectal cancer growth, suppresses prostate tumor growth, inhibits survivin expression, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis (cell death) in many malignant cell types.
