JUNIOR GOLDENSEAL GLYCERITE TO HELP RELIEVE INFECTION
Mode Of Action
Goldenseal is very efficient when the body has difficulty fighting an infection or when an infection is particularly virulent. It acts quickly and strongly. Goldenseal works specifically in two ways: it acts directly on pathogens as well as on tissues, making it very efficient to treat infections. Goldenseal root has a powerful antimicrobial effect on a variety of micro-organisms such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, pseudomonas and certain strains of influenza.
As well as being a tonic, goldenseal prevents the adhesion of pathogens to the mucus membranes. It also slows the reproduction and propagation of viruses and bacteria. Its astringent action helps restore the integrity and proper functioning of mucus membranes, more specifically that of the respiratory tract. This glycerite is especially effective to treat infections of the respiratory tract.
Goldenseal is also anti-inflammatory and anti-catarrhal. As it has an affinity for the respiratory system, it reduces inflammation and the secretion of excess mucus in the bronchi. It also relieves problems of the nose, the ears, the mouth and the throat.
In the digestive system, the antimicrobial components of goldenseal relieve acute and persistent diarrhea generally caused by infectious agents. Goldenseal also acts on certain yeasts (C. Albicans, A. flavus, A. fumigatus) and parasites (amoeba, protozoa).
The main constituents of goldenseal are isoquinoline alkaloids (berberine, hydrastine, canadine), canadaline, hydrastidine, isohydrastidine, berberastine, resins, chlorogenic acid, carbohydrates, fatty acids and volatile oils.

History
Goldenseal is found only in North America and there is only one species in its genus. Although is it called canadensis, goldenseal is much more widespread in the United States than in Canada. In Canada, it grows mostly in the Niagara Valley of Ontario and in the Okanagan Valley of BC. Goldenseal was commonly used by First Nations peoples who appreciated its medicinal virtues. The Cherokee used it as an antiseptic, a general tonic and to stimulate appetite. The Iroquois used it against whooping cough, pneumonia and digestive troubles. The American pioneers used goldenseal as an eye wash and to treat sore throats and digestive troubles.
