Jamaican Dog Blood Bush is a sacred plant in Afro-Caribbean herbal traditions, long valued for its role in womb care, fertility support, and internal cleansing. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, this wildcrafted herb; scientifically known as Rivina humilis, has been used for generations as a grounding, restorative tea to support balance within the body.
Often referred to as Fertility Bush, Dog Blood Bush is traditionally used to support women’s reproductive health by promoting circulation, easing inflammation, and helping the body release stagnation. In ancestral practices, inflammation within the reproductive system is believed to disrupt balance, and herbs like Dog Blood Bush were used to restore natural flow and harmony.
Women have historically turned to this plant to help regulate menstrual cycles, ease severe cramps, and support the womb after childbirth or pregnancy loss. It is also used during life transitions such as perimenopause and menopause to promote calm, balance, and emotional steadiness.
Beyond the womb, Dog Blood Bush is known as a blood-purifying herb, traditionally used to support skin clarity, energy, digestion, and immune strength. Its anti-inflammatory and mild pain relieving properties made it a trusted ally for joint discomfort, headaches, abdominal pain, and fatigue.
Dog Blood Bush grows as a small tropical shrub with deep green leaves and bright red berries. The leaves and stems are traditionally harvested, dried, and brewed into a caffeine free tea, often blended with other roots and herbs as part of a holistic wellness practice.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom, Jamaican Dog Blood Bush reminds us that healing is not rushed; it is cultivated through patience, balance, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms. When used mindfully, this powerful plant serves as a gentle companion for cleansing, renewal, and restoration.
