Golden Seal (hydrastis canadensis) - 100 caps
Golden Seal has been used to stem swelling and infection. Traditionally it has been used in combating infections in the lungs, mouth, intestine and urinary system. Today, it is popular as an immune booster and natural antibiotic. It is a typical home remedy taken at the onset of colds to prevent further symptoms. It is said to boost the body’s immunity and is therefore considered by many as a ‘must have’ herbal remedy.
The berberine found in Golden seal helps to protect the body against a variety of bacterial and fungal infections, including those that occur in the vagina, gallbladder, throat and intestines.
Therapeutic Use
Golden Seal has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties as well as immune-supporting properties (largely due to its hydrastine, berberine and canadine alkaloids). It has traditionally been used to help soothe the mucous membranes that line the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts. Useful when taken at the first sign of respiratory problems, or colds. May also relieve the congestion and excess mucous symptoms of catarrh.
