Hello Richard & Carol:
Here in Qu=E9bec we have dock naturalized from Europe originally. One
species is called Curled Dock, listed as a weed in my reference Weeds
of Canada. I beleive in a previous post from New Zealand that it
contains special properties, substances such as natural dewormers. I
know that my Botanical references mention oxalic acid and tannins. I
beleive the tannins have some natural deworming effects. it is a
broadleaf weed and a member of the larger Polygonium family, which I
call the Buckwheat family to which rhubarb belongs.
