Overview:

Goldenseal Leaf is one of North America’s most treasured traditional herbs, valued for its cleansing, toning, and protective properties.* Known for its vibrant yellow hue and earthy aroma, goldenseal has been used for generations to support healthy mucous membranes, digestion, and immune function.*

Our organic cut and sifted goldenseal leaf is carefully harvested from sustainable sources and gently dried to preserve its natural alkaloids, including hydrastine and berberine—plant compounds historically associated with maintaining healthy internal balance.*

Historical & Cultural Background:

Used by Indigenous tribes of North America long before European settlement, goldenseal became one of the most sought-after botanicals in early American herbal medicine. It was often blended with echinacea or myrrh to create tonics for immune and respiratory support.* Because of its rarity, ethical cultivation and harvesting practices are essential; our product is sourced only from certified organic, sustainable farms that protect this valuable species.
