Goldenseal has a powerful
antibacterial action
Goldenseal is widely used in many herbal salves and ointments as a disinfectant. The root contains berberine and hydrastine which give goldenseal a broad-spectrum antibacterial action. Goldenseal is often thought of in the same vein as echinachea, an immune booster to take at the onset of a cold, but this is mistaken. The herb's real value is as a topical antibioctic in skin infections sore throats, and other applications where it comes in direct contact witht the affected areas.

| Side Effects: |
|---|
| Goldenseal is not for long-term use, the hear has cumulative effects on the system and contains alkaloids that are toxic in large doses and could cause diarrhea or vomiting. Goldenseal is an emmenagogue, and should not be used by pregnant women. Goldenseal has several relatively uncommon side effects. There is some evidence that the berberine in goldenseal can interfere with the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. It may lower blood sugars, so it should be used with caution by people with diabetes who have not used this herb before. The tannins in goldenseal tinctures may cause stomach irritation, so you should avoid taking the herb in tincture form if you have diarrhea or chronic heartburn. |

 Goldenseal is a folk medicine staple whose uses as an antibiotic and antiseptic was imparted to settlers from Native Americans. Goldenseal once grew wild in the shady forests of eastern from Minnesota and Vermont south into Georgia, but the population has declined in the wild due to over harvesting and loss of habitat. Today the only remaining stands of wild goldenseal are isolated in the northern and central Appalachians and the Ozark mountains. Insist on cultivated goldenseal only when purchasing this herb, or consider substituting Oregon grape root, a naturally abundant member of the barberry family that also contains an impressive amount of berberine.
