Side Effects

Efficacy of Goldenseal as an Alternative Medicine According to GRADE* Ranking [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.

Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that goldenseal helps to treat the conditions above. More studies are needed)

Grade of Evidence: Low level of evidence
