Goldenrod: Breath Easy; Pee Easy (New Video Lesson)
Goldenrod, scientifically called Solidago spp. of the Asteraceae family supports us in clearing sinus and urinary tract infections and inflammations.
This lesson is about goldenrods in general, and less about keying out one specific species, although we feature Solidago rugosa or wrinkleleaf goldenrod, the common goldenrod that grows around me. Again, other Solidago species are used similarly.
My Goal: for you to learn to ID, harvest, and use this most useful herbal ally.
Qualities
Goldenrod is an aromatically rich, astringent, antiseptic, decongestant, diuretic that has an affinity for the upper respiratory system and the urinary tract. And yes it has other uses too, but that is for another lesson.
Harvest & Use
For the most potent medicine moment, harvest flowering tops as the flowers are just starting to open. Strip out stems. If drying, harvest when flowers are budding to prevent the blossoms from turning to seed during the drying period.
Use as a tea or tincture for clearing sinus catarrh (excess mucus) in sinuses (tincture preferred). Or use tea to open the kidney’s as a diuretic for urinary tract irritation, inflammation, kidney stones, etc.
To tincture fresh flowering tops, use 140 proof menstruum (70% alcohol).
Cautionary note: Please research any new food or medicine, go slowly, learn, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider.
