Background and Use
A golden yellow root native to Pacific Northwestern forests, Oregon Grape has a history of herbal use dating back to early aboriginal tribes. Oregon Grape root contains berberine, the primary alkaloid found in Goldenseal, thus making it a valuable substitute for the over-harvested Goldenseal plant. It was highly valued by the Eclectic physicians at the turn of the century and is becoming popular once more as people seek an alternative to the scarce Goldenseal.
Precautions
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Discontinue use if unusual symptoms occur. Avoid excessive or long-term use without periodic breaks.
