Overview

Introduction: The plant was first described to the outside world in the 1700’s. Goldenseal came into prominence among North American settlers in the 1800’s, displacing its cousin goldthread as the popular herbal remedy of the time. By 1910 it was nearly harvested to extinction in the wild, and is still a rare plant in some regions due to over-harvesting. As such, we highly recommend that goldenseal be purchased and used consciously and with concern to its environmental vulnerability.
