This herb will interest those of you who suffer from psoriasis and other skin complaints such as eczema. Oregon grape root, also known as Mahonia aquifolium, is a tall, flowering shrub that grows in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon grape root can be used for constipation, bloating, and other intestinal issues, but dermatologists are investigating Oregon grape root because of its effectiveness in treating psoriasis and other skin diseases.

Oregon grape root is the dermatologist’s choice for atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis
Dermatologic Therapy published a clinical study in 2010 which was designed to discern which plant extracts and compounds worked best for a variety of skin diseases. The researchers involved in the study took information gleaned from the former German Commission E and tested botanicals on patients manifesting chronic skin conditions. The study was significant because the tests were performed on human subjects.
Of the various skin diseases tested, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis showed the most impressive results with herbal treatment. Oregon grape root was found to be effective for both atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
A 2003 study, also reported in Dermatologic Therapy, noted the return of medicinal herbalism to complementary dermatologic health care. Researchers thoughtfully noted that the crude extracts of a variety of plants healed skin diseases such as acne differently than pharmaceuticals, and stated that sometimes herbal therapy is either the best or only choice of treatment for certain skin conditions. Oregon grape root was specifically mentioned for acne, because of the anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and liver-protecting chemicals contained in the herb.Using Oregon grape root in traditional ways is easy
Traditional herbalists suggest using Oregon grape root powder in colon cleansing formulas and in topical ointments for skin issues. It can also be made into a tea. Since Oregon grape root is a tough root, the herb must be boiled for 15 minutes before drinking. One teaspoon per cup is recommended, and three cups of tea per day is suggested.
A tincture can be made from Oregon grape root, as well. Two droppers of tincture taken three times a day is the usual recommendation for any herbal tincture. The tincture can be added to an ointment for skin issues such as psoriasis in a 1:10 ratio, according to both traditional herbalists and clinical dermatologists.
