Goldenseal Leaf

Goldenseal Leaf

Native to the eastern woodlands of the U.S. and Canada, Goldenseal Leaf is one of the Native American herbs with a long history. Called Hydrastis canadensis by those in the botanical sciences, goldenseal leaf was used by Iroquois and Algonquin-speaking Indians of present-day Ontario, Quebec, New York and New England as one of their primary medicinal herbs. Dried Goldenseal Leaf was ground into a powder and administered.

Dried herbs such as Goldenseal Leaf may have their therapeutic uses, but in many cases these have not been verified by clinical research. In addition, natural herbs - including certified organic herbs, if not used judiciously, can result in interactions and side-effects. Please seek advice from a trained, licensed herbalist or naturopathic doctor prior to beginning therapy using any herbal product or natural botanical extract.
