Oregon Grape Root (Mahonia aquifolium) is a flowering shrub from the Berberidaceae family, native to the mountainous regions of western North America. Growing to heights of 1–2 meters, it features spiny holly-like leaves and vibrant yellow spring flowers followed by dusty blue berries. The root and root bark have a striking golden hue — a characteristic feature of this traditional botanical.
Due to its shared compound berberine with goldenseal, Oregon Grape Root is frequently used as an alternative in traditional botanical preparations. Given its pronounced bitterness, the root is most commonly prepared as a tincture rather than a tea.
