Mahonia aquifolium
Oregon grape root is useful for sluggish liver symptoms such as acne, dry flaky skin, bad breath, and poor digestion. It is particularly useful for those that have a problem with poor digestion and assimilation of fats. Oregon grape root contain berberine, the bright yellow bitter constituent also found in goldenseal. This makes it an excellent anti-microbial, particularly useful in cases of excessive heat, irritation, lymph stagnation or dampness. It may be useful for food poisoning, UTIs, tooth and gum infections, and infections of the gut, among other things. It also makes a great poultice or salve to be applied topically, and is a wonderful alterative and blood purifier.

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
