Goldenseal is an herb that is native to southeast Canada and northeast United States. It was used for many generations of Native Americans prior to the European colonization of the Americas for a multitude of different medicinal benefits.  Upon the colonization, knowledge of the benefits from consuming this herb spread all over the world, making it today one of the most popular herbs in America (let alone the entire world).

Goldenseal possesses many more uses than for what the Native Americans used it.  The list would be very long for conditions that this marvelous herb can aid. One of the most common methods of usage is to combine it with other herbs to help improve overall effects. The most popular combination is with Goldenseal and Echinacea. These two can be remarkably effective at preventing common illnesses and helping with various infections.

How does it work?

Goldenseal contains a large amount of vitamins and minerals which are very healthy for the human body, but the many uses of Goldenseal are largely attributable to the presence of various alkaloids. The most notable one is berberine.

How to take it?

Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this:

• Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant

• Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that

• If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)

About our tinctures:

Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality herbs from reputable growers all over the world.

Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture.

To make sure that we are selling the highest quality tinctures on the market, we purchased tinctures from each of the most popular tincture companies and performed thorough analyses on each. Our research showed that our tinctures contain at least 2 times the amount of active ingredients than all of the suppliers we have tested.

We make our tinctures with material that is extracted using a far more efficient extraction process than the extraction processes used by other tincture suppliers (typically cold extraction). For example, some claim to use a 1 to 1 ratio of 8 pounds of dried plant material for every 8 pounds (1 gallon) of liquid. Now take a step back and think about this: this dried plant material represents 20% or less of the original weight of the plant and when it is soaked in liquid, it will easily absorb most or all of this liquid. If the manufacturer was able to compress this soaked plant material, only a portion of this liquid would be able to be removed from the plant matter. Even if perfect separation of liquid from plant matter was possible, it would only contain 50% of the valuable constituents of the plant, because in solution there is an equilibrium of active components dispersed between the plant matter and the liquid. Again, this is only in theory, it is actually impossible to extract all of the liquid from the plant matter, so more than 50% of the active constituents would be left unused in the plant matter. Feel free to send us a message if you would like further explanation on this.

Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.

Our tinctures are stored in cobalt blue glass Boston Round bottles with glass droppers attached and sealed with perforated shrink bands to ensure the purity and quality of the product. Orders are shipped within 1-3 business days through USPS First Class or USPS First Class International.
