That was a very informative read on the goldenseal. I don't know that we have it in my woods, but I am going to go foraging to see if I can find some. I would love to make a tea from the roots to use in my handmade soaps. I think it would be a great antibacterial additive for problem skin, perhaps like extreme eczema. I would love to try it in soap or a butter balm for infected skin. What do you think? Any thoughts whether I should do so. Would love your feedback.

Best of luck finding it. If you do, be sure to understand the implications of harvesting a potential species at risk.
Your ideas on soaps and salves are sound, I’d like to see the products. I Many folks sell cultivated roots, and it’s not tough to grow yourself if you did want to make the soap, I think you’re onto something here. My only concern would be the tint it may leave.
Best of luck.
