Product Description

Goldenseal Root is probably one of the finest mucus membrane astringents in the whole herbal realm. As well, it is an excellent natural antibiotic for topical applications, ie infected wounds, cuts, etc. While it is very bitter, it can still be taken internally as an antibiotic, although long term use should be avoided. It is superb for gargling in cases of sore throats and can be used judiciously for cases of ulcers as well. Goldenseal Rt contains primarily three different alkaloids: berberine, hydrastine and berberastine. They have a wide range of activity against various microbes; equally, it will stimulate blood supply to the spleen, and help activate the macrophages it produces. There has also been noted some tumour inhibiting effect, but by itself would not constitute an effective remedy.

Ingredients: Certified organically grown 3 yr. old Goldenseal Rt., Alcohol (45%)
Suggested Dosage: Topically, use 3-5 drops, or enough to cover the affected area. Internally, use 10-15 drops, in a glass of water, 2-3 times per day. As a gargle for sore throats, use ½ teaspoonful in a glass of warm water (2-3 oz) and gargle, a sipful at a time.
Contra-Indications: Not to be used internally with drugstore antibiotics, or for long term use, especially those with hypoglycemia or low blood sugar problems.
