Goldenseal for Animals - We grow our organic goldenseal. Goldenseal is used topically for minor infections and has long been used, diluted with distilled water, as an eyewash.
Use full strength topically and dilute with distilled water (i.e. 3 to 5 drops goldenseal tincture per ounce of distilled water) as an eye wash. Dilute one ounce with a pint of water. It is an effective dermatitis rinse. Apply the rinse with a spritzer twice daily.
Orally one cc per 100 pounds weight is effective for urinary tract infections.
Goldenseal is contraindicated for cardiovascular conditions. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy.
We did not invent botanical medicines and we do not recommend that the use of botanical medicines should be undertaken on the strength of our restatement of historical usage and documented research.
We do restate well documented traditional efficacy and the results of ongoing research. Personal experience is included where deemed appropriate.
Regardless of the merits of any plant medicine, side effects do sometimes occur. These may be real or imagined. Always seek the counsel and advice of qualified medical professionals and use caution with any medication, plant derived or otherwise. We do not accept responsibility for the use or misuse of any product put forth or any information provided.
This research is being conducted by the Veterinary Research Council, Inc., of which, Dr. Fox is Treasurer.
