What is Oregon Grape Root?

Oregon Grape Root (Mahonia aquifolium) is known by a variety of different common names including Oregon holly grape and Oregon grape holly. The plant is native to western North America, with the typical Oregon grape plant growing to 90 cm (3 feet) or more, tall. It has wonderful leaves that change color throughout the year, from red to green to burgundy, and finally in April and May, bright yellow flowers appear.

Oregon Grape Root was introduced to Europe by colonists and explorers on their arrival back home from their travels. It was considered another barberry by Europeans. The two became interchangeable in European folklore and Oregon grape has attributed many of barberry’s magical qualities. The berries of the plant are rich in vitamin C, however it is the root that is used in herbal supplements and teas.

What is Oregon Grape Root used for?

Oregon Grape Root is a traditional herbal remedy known for its antimicrobial*, liver-supporting*, and skin-soothing* properties. Despite its name, it’s not related to grapes—the “grape” part comes from the plant’s purple berries. The root is where all the herbal magic happens, thanks to a compound called berberine.
