==Chemical Composition==
Contains volatile oilsThe active ingredients of goldenseal include isoquinoline alkaloids, flavonoidssuch as berberine, apigenincanadine, luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, tiliroside, triterpene glycosides including euscapic acid and tormentic acidhydrastine. Goldenseal has been reported to contain these alkaloids in the ranges of 1.5-4% hydrastine, phenolic acids0.5-6% berberine, and 2-3%–21% tanninsberberastine.23 Most of the actions of goldenseal have been attributed to hydrastine and berberine<ref name="chemical composition"/>

Easily grown in most soilsGoldenseal is somewhat difficult of cultivation, preferring it prefers a calcareous good rich moist loamy leafy soil. Thrives in a dry lightly shaded positionshade or partial shade[4, 31, though it prefers full sun187].Plants usually self-sow quite freely when growing in Prefers a suitable position. The seeds are contained in burrs that can easily attach themselves to clothing or animal's fursandy, thus transporting them acid to a new area where they can germinate and grow.The cultivar 'Sweet scented' is popular in France for making tea because the whole plant is sweet scented and the flowers have a spicy apricotneutral humus-like fragrancerich soil<ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
