Organic Goldenseal Root -
Hydrastis canadensis, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)
Goldenseal root is considered to be an effective broad spectrum antibiotic, and is very much in demand worldwide. Its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties have led researchers to study goldenseal root as a possible alternative to chemical antibiotics. Goldenseal also appears to promote healthy glandular function, and may have a tonic and detoxifying effect on the entire system. Goldenseal root has a long history of medicinal use among Native American tribes of the northeast, its native habitat. The Cherokee were known to use it for treatment of abnormal cell growth and general debility, as well as mixing it with bear grease to make an insect repellant. The Iroquois used it as a remedy for whooping cough, diarrhea and various stomach ailments. The plant was first described to the outside world in the 1700's and was greeted with such enthusiasm as a virtual cure-all that exports of the indigenous American plant reached 200,000 to 300,000 pounds annually. Its popularity was quite widespread in the Americas as well. Captain Lewis, during his trek with William Clark to the Pacific coast in 1804, wrote that goldenseal was a "sovereign remedy for sore eyes and excellent mouth water." Among the maladies that goldenseal root was said to be an effective treatment for were upper respiratory infections, catarrh, intestinal infections, infections of the mucous membranes, diabetes, yeast infections and thrush. Recent research has isolated constituents in goldenseal which have broad spectrum antibiotic properties, as well as astringent and anti-inflammatory actions, giving credence to many of the traditional uses of the herb. Also known as: Hydrastis canadensis, Orange Root, Yellow Root, Yellow Puccoon. Ground Raspberry. Wild Curcuma. Turmeric Root. Indian Dye. Eye Root. Eye Balm. Indian Paint. Jaundice Root, and Warnera.
SUGGESTED USAGE In tea as an infusion or decoction, in capsules, as a poultice and in liquid extract form. Precautions: Because berberine can stimulate contractions, goldenseal root should not be used by pregnant women. Goldenseal may raise blood pressure and should not be used for extended periods of time by those with heart conditions.
