Oregon Grape

Oregon Grape has a wide variety of uses. It is perhaps the best western herb for liver deficiency. It stimulates the liver to produce more bile and other liver enzymes. It essentially increases liver function and is indicated for those with constitutional deficiency patterns in the liver and digestive systems. It can help other symptoms relating to liver deficiency (which includes dry skin, eczema, preference to sweets and carbohydrates, prone to allergies or environmental illness, prone to fatigue, avoids fat and protein, is drawn to a cleansing, vegetarian diet and get tired and depleted, PMS, constipation). †

Oregon Grape will increase fat digestion (increases bile) and protein digestion (increase HCl and pepsinogen). Oregon Grape increases the rate at which the liver detoxifies the blood as it passes through the liver. It is a great cleansing agent for systemic (whole body) cleansing or for fast cleansing in larger doses. Toxins are removed from the body quickly as this function is the liver's responsibility. As an anti-microbial, Oregon Grape contains the same alkaloid, berberine, as Goldenseal which increases anti-bacterial action. It makes a great topical wash and internal bacteria killer. It also increases the liver's ability to clean out as it kills foreign invaders. Intestinal bacterial infections respond well to Oregon Grape. †

Oregon Grape can be used acutely in larger doses or long term in smaller doses as a tonic.
