Traditional Use: Goldenseal was used by Native Americans as a treatment for irritations and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tract. It was commonly used topically for skin and eye infections and has been used historically as a mouthwash to help heal canker sores.

Common Use: European settlers adopted it as a medicinal plant, using it for a variety of conditions. Currently, goldenseal is promoted as a dietary supplement for colds and other respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), ulcers, and digestive upsets such as diarrhea and constipation.

Dispensing: Powdered goldenseal root and rhizome, 4–6 grams per day in tablet or capsule form, is sometimes recommended. For liquid herbal extracts, use 2–4 ml three times per day. Alternatively, 250–500 mg three times per day of standardized extracts supplying 8–12% alkaloids, are suggested.
