A Oregon Company, "Oregon’s Wild Harvest," grows, harvests and produces their own medicinal herbal products, many of which use the herbs grown on their certified Biodynamic® and Organic farm in Sandy, Oregon. I'm from Oregon and love their fresh plants grown near lava beds, however, I do not do free ads for anyone, and have never boughten from this company, so your own you own here. www.oregonswildharvest.com
Since Oregon grape (Mahonia spp.) is the state flower of Oregon, I thought it would be nice to spend a little time telling you about the Pacific Northwest's best kept secret.
This evergreen thrives here in the Great Northwest and grows deep in the coniferous forest. It likes shade and gets very little sun. Growing close to the ground, the conditions are very damp, where bacteria and fungus thrive. The leaves are sharp and very bitter. So, you would not find the deer eating them. The bark is yellow to yellow-green, and the roots are almost orange. Right under the bark, you will find a very yellow alkaloid, the primary bioactive agent of Oregon grape, called berberine. Berberine is the same alkaloid found in goldenseal, which is what also gives goldenseal its yellow color. Berberine has been traditionally used as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.Oregon grape also contains the alkaloids oxyacanthine and oxyberberine, which function similarly to berberine.
It has a long history of traditional use as a bitter, and helps to flush out the liver by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes and bile.
Oregon Grape Roots a nauseously bitter taste. This is an herb that can take place of Golden Seal, which was over picked in the wild,...exception is the diabetic part.
Oregon Grape Root can cure upset stomach, prevent and cure skin disorders, behave as a drying and warming agent, cure delirium, sanitize the internals by producing bile, manage Psoriasis and Syphilis, tonic Irritable Bowel Syndrome, clean up blood, cure depression and bad temper, cleanse the intestines, stimulate the thyroid glands and act as an astringent. They also have alternative, diuretic and emetic properties separated from being good for the stomach, gall-bladder and spleen. Patients suffering from diarrhoea and bacterial dysentery have nearly continually been talked about to have considerably benefit ted from consuming Oregon Grape Root for Constipation.
Oregon grape is considered the northwest's golden seal, having very similar qualities but at 25 percent the price. And, since golden seal is an endangered species (over-picked in the wild), Oregon grape is a secondary choice, in some instances as it can be found in good supply in the wild.
