'''Goldenseal''' ('''''Hydrastis canadensis''''') is a [[perennial]] herb in the [[buttercup]] family [[Ranunculaceae]], native to southeastern [[Canada]] and the northeastern [[United States]]. It may be distinguished by its thick, yellow knotted [[rootstock]] as well as its large rounded leaves. |
|||
Goldenseal is often used as a multi-purpose remedy, having many different medicinal properties. In addition to working as a topical [[antibiotic]], it can also be taken internally as a digestion aid. Goldenseal may be purchased in [[salve]] or [[tablet]] form. |
|||
A second species from [[Japan]], previously listed as ''Hydrastis palmatum'', is sufficiently distinct that it is now usually treated in a separate genus, as ''Glaucidium palmatum''. |
