Re: [AlpacaTalk] goldenseal

Wise Woman Herbals in Creswell, Oregon has herbal remedies, tinctures,
extracts... you name it. They prefer to deal with NDs, because some
preparations to require prescriptions. apparently. I'm pretty sure they
have a website.

Yup, they do. :)

Goldenseal is an exceptional healing agent, but it is rare and
endangered, and very expensive. Oregon grape root and bark has many of
the same properties, and isn't endangered or rare. And it's not quite
as expensive. In fact, I think we have some growing on our property!
