Oregon Grape Root

Oregon Grape Root has been used in the Pacific Northwest by Native American tribes for generations and long utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many medicinal purposes. European folk wisdom has adopted similar uses, while also keeping the enemy at bay when posted at your threshold.

A plant embodying the feminine, Oregon Grape Root builds bridges between energies in combination against a common enemy. A root for protection, it can be held as a symbol of walking a path less traveled within one’s truest divinity. It encourages the focus on a goal worth the natural balance of the trials in life. Place it in a sachet to help carry an aura of protection. The root can also be crushed and used as a yellow dye on wool.

Oregon Grape Root has been used as a tonic for the blood, cleansing through antimicrobial properties. Its laxative properties can help with an upset stomach by encouraging the production of bile, while also helping with symptoms of arthritis, eczema and may promote healing in wounds. It’s shown to support the cardiovascular and liver systems while regulating blood glucose levels. Some studies have shown promise in the treatment of giardia infections. The powder has been used traditionally sprinkled upon wounds to help promote healing, while protecting and treating possible infection. The root can be boiled into a tea to be used as a bitter tonic, aiding in digestion of denser fats and proteins.
