Botanical name: Hydrastis canadensis

Our organic goldenseal root powder is finely milled from dried goldenseal root and has a strong, bitter, earthy flavour. Naturally caffeine-free, goldenseal has a long history of traditional use in herbalism for upper respiratory health, immune support, and seasonal allergy relief, and is most often used in targeted, short-term herbal preparations.

Sourced from the USA, this potent root is valued for its strength and is typically used in small amounts.

About Goldenseal Root

Goldenseal contains berberine, a naturally occurring plant compound long valued in herbal medicine. Traditionally, goldenseal has been used to support the body during colds, sinus congestion, sore throats, and other upper respiratory issues, as well as for digestive and immune support.

It has also been commonly used in herbal practices for seasonal allergies, mucus congestion, and infection-related discomfort, and is often included in formulas intended for short-term use rather than daily, long-term routines.


How to Use

  • Tea / Decoction: Simmer ¼–½ tsp per cup of water for 10–15 minutes, then strain

  • Powder: Add a small amount to warm water or herbal blends

  • Best used short term and in small doses
