Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal) extract in a cocoa butter base. The antimicrobial action of Hydrastis is from the alkaloid, berberine. Berberine has been shown to be effective against many microbes including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. (AMIN, SUBBAIAJ, ABBASI. BERBERINE SULFATE: ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY, BIOASSAY AND MODE OF ACTION. Can. J. Micro. 1969: 15:1067-1076). Main uses by practitioners are for bacterial and Candida infections. Editors Note: Hydrastis suppositories can be a little irritating to the tissues if this occurs we suggest following with the Herbal Vaginal Suppositories which are soothing & restorative, though not as strongly anti-microbial as the Hydrastis.
