Goldenseal Uses
Goldenseal has been around since times of the European conquest of America but has remained very strong because even today Goldenseal uses are for anti catarrhal, anti inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, bitter tonic, laxative, and muscular stimulants. Herbalists say that if you are trying to ease gastritis, colitis, duodenal ulcers, loss of appetite, and liver disease, Goldenseal is what you might want to look into which is available at all herbal supplement stores. Goldenseal is very bitter so it stimulates bile secretions, stimulates the appetite, and aids in digestion.
Goldenseal uses have been around since the mid 19th century but is now threatened because Goldenseal is one of the most over harvested herbs. It keeps getting harvested and harvested but never replaced. Goldenseal which also goes by the name Yellow Root is often combined with Echinacea and prepared for easing the symptoms of colds. It is the underground root of Goldenseal that is harvested and dried to make teas and both liquid and solid extracts that are then turned into bulk powder, capsules or tablets.
Scientists claim that there is no evidence to support Goldenseal uses for any ailments or medical condition whatsoever because of the very small amount of berberine that Goldenseal contains. Regardless of scientific claims, Goldenseal is one of the most widely sold herbs on the market today.
Although a very controversial subject, many people believe that the reason that Goldenseal is standing solid ground in the marketplace is because Goldenseal uses are primarily for the purpose of masking positive drug screens for people who are required to take drug tests for work or through law enforcement agencies. Many claim there is no validity to this claim, but still many people are buying it because a friend told them that it worked and for that matter it is promoted in High Times magazine for the sole purpose of covering bogus drug screens. The claim is that THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana, is fat soluble and it stores itself in the kidneys and becomes water soluble. They claim that two to three days prior to a drug screen, you get some Goldenseal, follow the directions and it's a guaranteed pass.
If Goldenseal uses is one of the most popular herbs on the market today, someone has to be keeping them in business, and it is true that many people are turning to herbal remedies in an attempt to heal themselves naturally rather than load up with a bunch of prescriptions that have nasty side effects.
