| GOLDENSEAL ROOT
The golden, yellow root of
this plant gives it its goldenseal name.
It has antibiotic properties
stronger than many prescription
medicines and is able to
target "unwanted" bacteria, as
well as protozoa and yeasts.
It is unique in that it does not
harm the "beneficial" bacteria
that are necessary in the
digestive tract. The alkaloid
berberine has the added
benefit of increasing blood
flow through the spleen, where
it also increases the immune-building
activity of the large
supply of white blood cells
there. By many herbalists goldenseal is
considered one of the most
powerful herbs. It is a substitute
for quinine. It is one of
the most effective remedies for
inflamed and catarrhal conditions
of the mucus membranes.
It has the ability to heal
mucus membranes anywhere in the
body (bronchial tubes, throat,
intestines, stomach, etc.).
Indications include:
for open sores, eczema, ringworm, and
skin diseases; diphtheria,
tonsillitis and severe throat problems;
sluggish digestion; used
with Skullcap and Hops for the
spinal nerves; spinal meningitis;
pyorrhea and sore gums;
sinus difficulties; bladder
disorders and lower bowel
problems (can use as an
enema); infection; flu; diabetes;
constipation; colds; cankers;
psoriasis; heart disorders;
and gallbladder/spleen/pancreas.
CAUTION: if a person
has high blood pressure,
watch for the highs and lows and
if they occur, then substitute
Myrrh for Goldenseal.
Berberine stimulates the
uterus - DO NOTuse goldenseal during
