Goldenseal Root?
This is an all purpose herbal remedy which is
native to North America, it is highly respected by the Indians. It thrives
in deciduous woods and meadows, also closely related to the buttercup.
Effects of Goldenseal
Herbal Safety
Goldenseal is used for many things and it has many effects, traditionally it
was used to treat inflamed or infected mucous membranes, normal stomach ache
and to aid digestion, also acting as a laxative. These are just a few of its
many benefits. However, in today’s world among all of the traditional
benefits of goldenseal, it is used predominantly to boost the body’s immune
system, aiding and helping to keep off infection. It is thought to increase
the capacity of the possibility of fighting off germs, bacteria and viruses.
How does it Work?
This is still unknown but some scientist believed that the components which
are active in the goldenseal root, these are known as alkaloids (commonly
known as berberine and hydrastine), these give a boost to the cells that
naturally fight off viruses in the body, these are the white blood cells.
Effects of Goldenseal
There are some possible negative effects of goldenseal and are not just
limited to nausea and diarrhoea. If the plant is taken fresh, other than
herbal supplement form, it can irritate mucous tissue and therefore may
cause breathing problems.
This supplement should certainly not be taken permanently. Some believe that
it should only be taken when you have a cold or flu, or any other such
illness; others believe that a cycle should be made by taking it for a
certain length of time and then retaking it after a gap of the same time
period.
Any pregnant or mothers nursing should not take this supplement.
Also if you have a current health problem, such as diabetes, heart disease,
or glaucoma, avoid this herb, blood pressure may be increase which is
another side effect of this herb.
As usual with any supplement if you have any doubt as to the risks of taking
a supplement, speak to a physician who can give you the best advice as an
individual.
