Garden Sorrel

Rumex rugosus

Scientific Summary

Garden sorrel (Rumex rugosus) is an herbaceous perennial plant with glossy, arrowhead‑shaped leaves. Its leaves are often used both as a culinary flavoring and in traditional medicine to support digestion, relieve inflammation, and act as a mild diuretic. Because it contains oxalic acid, it can irritate the mouth, contribute to kidney stone formation, and should be consumed in moderation, especially by people with kidney problems, gout, or those taking anticoagulants.
