In traditional Chinese medicine Coptis Root is a natural herbal remedy. The yellow color of the rhizome is largely due to the high alkaloid content and it has been used as a dye as well. Most of the historical information on use of this plant comes to us from traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean herbal uses. Coptis Root can be used as a substitute for Goldenseal.
