Goldenseal Herb Powder

Goldenseal herb, derived from the above-ground parts of the Hydrastis canadensis plant, is a native North American herb known for its traditional use in native medicine. It is characterized by broad leaves and greenish-white flowers and has a history of applications in addressing various health issues, such as digestive problems and respiratory infections, owing to its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Goldenseal contains bioactive compounds like berberine alkaloids, contributing to its medicinal potential. However, its bitter taste limits its use in culinary applications, and it should be used with caution and expert guidance due to its potential interactions with medications and side effects. Conservation efforts are also in place to protect this herb from overharvesting.
