goldenseal
Yellow medicinal herb
Goldenseal is a North American woodland plant with a thick yellow rootstock, used in herbal medicine.
The root has been promoted as a remedy for digestive problems, infections, and inflammation, though scientific evidence for most claims is limited.
Folk wisdom holds that goldenseal can mask drug use in urine tests—a myth that persists despite being debunked.
