Golden seal

Golden seal is stated to be a stimulant to involuntary muscle, and possesses stomachic, oxytocic, antihemorrhagic, and laxative properties. Traditionally, it has been used for digestive disorders, gastritis, peptic ulceration, colitis, anorexia, upper respiratory catarrh, menorrhagia, postpartum hemorrhage, dysmenorrhea, topically for eczema, pruritus, otorrhea, catarrhal deafness and tinnitus, conjuctivitis, and specifically for atonic dyspepsia with hepatic symptoms. [Pg.95]

The purple coneflower Echinacea purpura, and its close relatives, E. angustifolia and E. pallida, are the source of the herb Echinacea, which is widely popular as a nonspecific immune stimulant. These perennials are native to the prairies of North America and are now widely grown garden ornamentals. The root and aerial parts of the plant are the portions used, and the preparation s potency can be verified by the transient tingling sensation produced when it is tasted. Echinacea contains alkamides, caffeic acid esters (echinacoside, cichoric acid, caftaric acid), polysaccharides (heteroxylan), and an essential oil. Some echinacea products are standardized for their echinacoside content. In the past, adulteration with American feverfew (Parthenium integri-folium) was common. Echinacea is now sold either by itself or in combination with golden seal or zinc for the treatment of colds and influenza. [Pg.787]
