Dock (Rumex sp) are common weeds in gardens and are difficult to eradicate. Their tap roots can grow up to 3ft in length and their stems are covered in a large number of seeds which persist into the winter months. A common use for the dock plant that most of us will know, is to use its leaves to soothe nettle stings or insect bites. In Austrian medicine the roots and leaves are used internally to treat viral infections.
