Alvita Golden Seal Herb Bulk Tea, 2 oz. (57 g)

No herb was more revered by American Indians than the versatile Golden Seal (Hydrastis canadensis). Once flourishing in the moist, rich woodlands of the Northeast, they called it "yellow root" and used the brilliant golden juice extracted from its roots as an ornamental dye for their clothes and weapons, a paint for their faces, and for its health benefits.

Early settlers adopted the use of Golden Seal and it quickly became a mainstay of American folk medicine. The name Golden Seal comes from the yellow scars left on the rhizome of the stem that bursts from every spring; these cars look like the omprint of an old-fashioned letter seal. Golden Seal is a very difficult and sensitive plant to gro and requires five years for roots to become mature.

There are two methods for making the best cup of tea. One is called an infusion which is used whenever you are brewing a cup of tea from leaves or flowers or other soft or fragile materials. The second method is a decoction which is used whenever you are brewing a cup of tea from bark, roots, seeds, or other hard materials.

The infusion method: Place 1-2 tsp. of the herbal tea into a cup and add no more than 6 oz. of boiling water. Let steep for 2-3 minutes and then strain off the herbs.
The decoction method: Place 1-2 tsp. of the herbal tea into 6-8 oz. of boiling water. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes and then strain off the herbs. Add honey to sweeten.
