Properties:
Goldenseal is the root of Hydrastis Canadensis. Goldenseal root is famous for use against sore throat and strep throat, effective against bladder infections. It is the alkaloid berberine which makes goldenseal root an effective remedy against protozoa, bacteria and fungi.
Goldenseal was used by the American Indians as a treatment for irritations and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts. It was commonly used topically for skin and eye infections. Because of its anti-microbial 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.
