    Yellow Root an Affordable Herbs Substitute for Goldenseal

    Yellow Root can be used an Affordable Herbs Substitute For Goldenseal Root . While goldenseal is an endangered plant , yellow root can be found on basically every shaded creek bank in the southern United States .

    This plentiful herb does all that it's endangered counter part can do and actually has been reported to accomplish even more . Cherokee Indians used yellow root for a variety of ailments ranging from simple mouth sores to the excruciating cramps associated with pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) .

    This affordable herbs substitute was even used to make dies for blankets and face paint .

    Goldenseal root in the wild is almost a thing of the past . It is now commercially grown on farms . This makes the herb more expensive than naturally grown yellow root . It's popularity soared when it was falsely reported to produce false positives in screens used to detect illegal drugs .

    Herb companies started paying top dollar to people who would sometimes over harvest the powerful root .

    Yellow root , the affordable herbs substitute , grows in a series of suckers stemming from a main root . This basically insures that an area harvested will always have new growth coming back out each spring . The fact that the herb is plentiful on government owned land also lends a hand to it's future abundance .

    Goldenseal's root is usually the only part of the plant that is used in the teas and powders . With yellow root , the stems are just as potent as the roots . This aspect also makes it an affordable herbs substitute. Some of the bigger plants can weigh over an ounce when dried . One point three ounces of this miracle herb will typically be enough of the average person for one month. All bitter roots need to be consumed responsibly. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take any bitter herbs without the consent and guidance of a physician.

    The typical bottle of goldenseal root pills contains fillers . In it's natural state it is a powerful herb . Companies have started using more and more filler to get their pills listed in the affordable herbs section of online sites as well as the discount shelf at the local herb shop. Fertilizers are added to make the plants grow faster . Very little goldenseal is really all natural any more .

    This is not the case with yellow root . It actually grows well in the fertile creek bank soils and also thrives in hard Ga. red clay. It needs no fertilizers as this years sapling is ready to be harvested at the end of the growing season in good growing conditions and by the next year in poorer conditions .

    Yellow Root really is an Affordable Herbs Substitute For Goldenseal Root
