It is the only species in the genus Sanguinaria, and is included in the family Papaveraceae. Bloodroot is also known as bloodwort, red puccoon root, and sometimes pauson. Bloodroot has also been known as tetterwort in America, although that name is used in Britain to refer to Greater Celandine. Bloodroot grows to 60 cm tall, with one large, sheath-like basal multi-lobed leaf up to 30 cm across. The flowers are produced from March to May, with 8-12 delicate white petals and yellow reproductive parts that appear to be clasped by the leaf.

[4] [5] [6] [7] Currently, it is believed that this use may cause leukoplakia, a premalignant oral lesion. [8] On 24 Nov 2003, the Colgate-Palmolive Company commented by memorandum (see: PDF file) to the United States Food and Drug Administration that then-proposed rules for levels of sanguinarine in mouthwash and dental wash products were lower than necessary. Professor George T. Gallagher also commented from his post at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, see his memorandum [1] of 23 June 2003. Sangrovit® is an animal food additive sold and distributed in Europe. Sangrovit is manufactured by Germany-based Phytobiotics. Sangrovit contains sanguinarine and chelerythrine. On 14 May 2003, Cat Holmes reported in the Georgia Faces [9] that Jim Affolter and Selima Campbell, horticulturists at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, were meeting with Phytobiotics to relate their research into commercial cultivation of bloodroot. Historical uses [ edit | edit source] The plant was used as a dye and for an herbal remedy by the native population.
The alkaloids are transported to, and stored in, the rhizome. [ edit | edit source] Sanguinarine kills animal cells by blocking the action of Na + /K + -ATPase transmembrane proteins. As a result, applying bloodroot to the skin may destroy tissue and lead to the formation of a large scab, called an eschar. Bloodroot and its extracts are thus considered escharotic. In spite of supposed curative properties, and historical use by Native Americans as an emetic, extreme caution should be used for any internal use. On 13 Aug 2005, U. S. news media reported that Dan Raber (of Georgia, United States) came under felony investigation for dispensing bloodroot paste to women with breast cancer. It was reported that nine women developed disfiguring destruction of skin and underlying tissue. Reports also indicated that Lois March, M. D., who is a practicing physician in Cordele, Georgia, has also come under U. FDA investigation for her role in prescribing pain medication to Raber's disfigured customers while their use of bloodroot was ongoing [1] [2] [3] The United States FDA has approved the inclusion of sanguinarine in toothpastes as an antibacterial or anti-plaque agent.

The flower is short-lived, but the leaf continues to grow until mid-summer, when the plant becomes dormant. Bloodroot stores sap in an underground rhizome the sap is toxic. Description [ edit | edit source] Growing Conditions [ edit | edit source] Varieties [ edit | edit source] Uses [ edit | edit source] Maintenance [ edit | edit source] Propagation [ edit | edit source] Harvest [ edit | edit source] Pests and Diseases [ edit | edit source] References [ edit | edit source] Range in the United States Reproduction and genetics [ edit | edit source] Bloodroot is one of many plants whose seeds are spread by ants, a process called myrmecochory. The seeds have a fleshy organ called an elaiosome that attracts ants. The ants take the seeds to their nest, where they eat the elaiosomes, and put the seeds in their nest debris, where they are protected until they germinate. They also get the added bonus of growing in a medium made richer by the ant nest debris. Bloodroot flowers are produced from March to May, with 8-12 delicate white petals and yellow stamens Bloodroot leaves grow rapidly after the flowers die and persist until late summer Double-flowered cultivars such as S. canadensis forma multiplex 'Plena' are popular with gardeners, as their flowers last longer than single ones Bloodroot produces morphine-like alkaloids [ edit | edit source] Bloodroot produces benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, primarily the toxin sanguinarine.
