Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) Goldenseal is native to eastern North America. Goldenseal was used by the Native Americans as a treatment for irritations and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts. Because of its antimicrobial activity, goldenseal has a long history of use for infectious diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and vaginal infections. Goldenseal is often recommended in combination with echinacea for the treatment of colds and flu. Goldenseal is considered a important remedy for stomach and intestinal problems.

Goldenseal may be effective in fighting infection, inflammation, allergies, congestion, cold or flu. It increases immunity, improves digestion, balances menses, reduces blood pressure and stimulates the central nervous system.

Our Goldenseal Root is ecologically farm grown without the use of harmful chemicals. The root is not harvested from the wild and therefore, the endangered wild population of goldenseal is not adversely impacted.
