Ocalates are poisonous in excess, expecially for those with a tendency to rheumatism, arthritis, gout, kidney stones and hyperacidity. They are also acidic which may affect sensitive teeth. Sorrel is an acidic astringent, cooling herb with diuretic effects. The fresh, young leaves are added to salads, sauces, soups, cream cheese and egg dishes or pureed to add color and acidity to mayonnaise and pancake batter. It is seldom used medicinally. The juice is used to remove rust, mold and ink stains from linen, wood, silver and wicker.
