Contrary to popular belief, Solidago virgaurea is not a significant cause of hay fever. However, some individuals have reported using goldenrod as a natural remedy for relieving symptoms of seasonal allergies. It is believed to have mild antihistamine properties.
Goldenrod has been used topically for wound healing due to its astringent and antimicrobial properties. It may help cleanse wounds and promote faster healing.
It can be brewed into a tea, which is enjoyed for its mild, earthy flavour. Goldenrod tea is sometimes consumed for its overall calming and soothing properties.
A surprisingly effective herb
“ Golden rod tastes fine with other herbs or stand alone. The diuretic effect does not overly react but promotes cleansing. Have early in the day, drink extra water or make the tea as for 1 cup but mix with 2 cups or more hot water. The gentle effect will reduce bloating or "heaviness" and keep you feeling good. Can be used for targeted effects but as always do your own research. ”
