Botanical Name - Hydrastis canadensis Other Names - Yellow Puccoon, Orange Root, Yellow Root, Indian plant, yellow paint root, jandice root, goldenroot, yellow eye Origin - USA Typical Preparations - Tea infusion, tincture and sometimes found encapsulated. Flavor Profile - Goldenseal leaf has a mild, pleasant flavor. Goldenseal is a member of the Ranunculaceae family, which includes the common buttercup. The root is more commonly used in the traditional Chinese and Indian wellness systems, but the aerial parts of the plant exert similar properties. The common denominator is the presence of a plant alkaloid called berberine that has significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although the herb has been used in Asia for centuries, goldenseal is native to eastern North America. Currently, goldenseal is classified as an endangered species due to over-harvesting and mountain top removal mining. Because the removal or transplant of wild goldenseal without a permit is unlawful and irresponsible, most goldenseal on the market today is farm cultivated.
