More about yellowroot
Simmer or gently boil the yellowroot pieces in a cup of water for five minutes or steep for up to an hour depending on how strong you want your tea to be. Making herbal tea is not an exact process. It is easy!
Yellowroot tea, like all herbal tea, is best made fresh everyday. Also, if you are running low on yellowroot, you can reuse the pieces several times over a course of 48 hours. Your tea will still be potent and effective.
If you have been reading my Every Green Herb blog for a while, then you know we grow and sell a variety of herbs, but we also buy a lot, too. Try our favorite herbal suppliers for quality and value.
Yellowroot is a sustainable plant.
There are no fears about over-harvesting yellowroot! Even if you pull up a whole patch, it will grow back from pieces of rhizomes that break off in the ground. Here in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, yellowroot is plentiful. There are places where it grows for as far as the eyes can see in every direction. Isn't that wonderful news?
Roots, stems, and bark are used to make tea. The leaves are usually discarded.
*Do not use yellowroot internally for extended periods (greater than 2 weeks at a time). Do not give yellowroot to children or babies. Over use of yellowroot can slow heart beat and extremely high doses can be paralyzing to the central nervous system.
Do not use during pregnancy since berberine stimulates the uterus and may induce abortion. Large doses or taking yellowroot for too long of a period can cause vertigo, motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, depression, nervousness, respiratory problems, hallucinations, and seizures.
Consult with your health care provider before using yellowroot or goldenseal especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications. If rashes, hives, shortness of breath, or other symptoms develop while using yellowroot or goldenseal, contact your health care provider as soon as possible.
Do not use if you have high blood pressure without consulting your healthcare provider. The safety of yellowroot in nursing women, children, and people with kidney and liver disease is unknown.
Side effects are rare if yellowroot is taken in correct doses but fresh root can cause mouth irritation. Discontinue use if dizziness or any uncomfortable symptoms occur. Always consult with a physician or health care professional before using any herbal remedy.
