Definition: Used by Native Americans for generations, Goldenseal root is a favorite among herbalists for its anti inflammatory effect and antibiotic-like actions. The bitter nature of this herb has also made it an effective remedy for digestive disorders and as a bitter tonic for gastric ulcers. Strained infusions of goldenseal have traditionally been used as a soothing eye wash.

Applications: Diarrhea, eczema, eye inflammations, flatulence, gallbladder disease, gastritis, giardia, hemorrhoids, impetigo, indigestion, infections (viral and bacterial), liver disease, excessive menstrual flow, mouth sores, rhinitis, ringworm , ulcers and vaginitis.

Scientific Updates: Laboratory tests have proven goldenseal's ability to protect against gram-positive and gram- negative bacteria including tuberculosis bacteria. It helps to reduce vaginal and uterine inflammation. Tests have found that berberine containing herbs can be more effective in treating gastrointestinal infections that standard antibiotics.

Safety: Prolonged or excessive use may kill bacterial flora and raise white blood cell count. Taking unusually high amounts of goldenseal can lower heartbeat and adversely affect the central nervous system. Pregnant women should not use this herb because its berberine content can stimulate uterine contractions. Continual use can lower vitamin B absorption. Goldenseal is not recommended for anyone with low blood sugar or hypertension.
