Goldenseal plant

Goldenseal is an herb in the buttercup family, native to southeast Canada and the northeast United States. It has been used in medicine for at least hundreds of years in both topical and internal use for an amazing array of ailments, including cancer, inflammation, digestive disorders, gallstones, liver disease and hemorrhage.

Goldenseal to Relieve Earache

Method

  • Make an eardrop solution by mixing 1 part goldenseal tincture with 10 parts water. This solution may be dripped into the ear three times daily.

Why It Works

Goldenseal contains a compound called berberine, an antibiotic, which is useful in treating ear infections. It has also been shown to reduce mucus buildup in the ear.

Precautions

Please contact your healthcare provider if you think you may have an ear infection. Do not use goldenseal if the eardrum is perforated. Goldenseal is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
