Goldenseal Leaf

Teas, herbal extracts, or capsules sourced from this plant are used to treat colds, hay fever, digestive problems, sore gums, and skin problems. The herb is naturally rich in a class of alkaloid compounds, with berberine, hydrastine, and canadine being found in the highest concentrations. These alkaloids are linked to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and believed to be the main reason behind goldenseal’s purported health benefits.

**Goldenseal can be toxic if taken in high doses. Don't take this herb if you have high blood pressure, are pregnant, or nursing.**
