So much I didn't know about Goldenrod - thank you! This week I made a delicious trout in a lemon butter sauce with Garlic, Thyme and Goldenrod flowers 😋 I will be infusing into honey as well 💛 Also, here's a fun fact: after the Boston Tea Party, the colonists turned to local plants and drank Goldenrod tea. There were many “liberty tea” concoctions, which included red clover, chamomile, and other plants. 🎵Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, For amber waves of Goldenrod!🎵 🤭
I’ve used goldenrod leaf, just lightly chewed it up and placed it as a poultice on plantar warts and they are gone in three days. I reapply each day and cover gently with a bandaid to keep it in place.
Timely information for me as I have been to the ER twice in a month with two different family members who are dealing with kidney stones. Thank you for your enthusiastic presentation:)
Goldenrod fills my meadows in late summer. It makes the most beautiful yellow dye, and I use it to treat allergies. I did not know people thought it caused them. I appreciate learning the other uses of this wonderfully abundant and cheerful medicine.
You really caught my ear when you mentioned golden rod tincture for cat dander allergies. I developed an allergy to (most) cats a few decades ago when I was living in a house with what I now suspect was a mold problem. I have had problems ever since and use inhalers to keep things manageable. I think I'll give golden rod a try! Thank you for your wonderful videos, as well as for the bonus of seeing your beautiful knitted sweaters. 😊
Your garden is beautiful and I love your sweater/ skirt combo! Every video from you is so jam packed with info, I rewatch multiple times to absorb it all!
Great timing for me! We have pockets of goldenrod blooming and coming into bloom. I gathered a small amount Saturday and am looking forward to this weekend to forage for more😊
I have just stumbled across your channel, and I am so excited and ready to learn. You have a great talent for getting the information across. Your teaching style suits me perfectly. Thank you. 😊 I'm learning my garden is a herbalists dream, and so I look forward to turning it into an apothecary. Love from Ireland 🌿
Thanks for sharing… I’ve just been exploring this world of herbalism and medicinal plants for about a year and am loving all I’m learning. I currently have a goldenrod tincture “cooking” and another batch drying… for teas or salves. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and encouragement!
This was an eye-opening video. I've admired goldenrod all my life but never knew it had health benefits in addition to its harvest season beauty. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful information! I see that I have two different Goldenrod species growing. And am going to experiment using both. Perhaps I can mix them into a tea blend together. And now I also know it's benefits And how to use it! Thank you so much! Rosalee, I love your beautiful " golden rod" coloured skirt too! 🙏🫶
Good morning 🌄 Rosalee, I learned a lot from your class on goldenrod today. I am foraging goldenrod now and made oil and tincture. I even have my husband drinking the tea with me. It is helping his allergies. We do have the Canadian variety blooming right now in Oklahoma. Thank you so much for the lesson! Cynthia 🌿🌙💚
Just a great video packed with loads of information that’s very useful! Thank you all so much! Also I really like your timestamps but make it easy to jump from one section to another. You are all the great team, God bless you all!
Hi Rosalee, I love the way you do your videos. I drink a lot of tea. I have a bottle of water and throw a tea bag in and after steeping several minutes start drinking it. I have one question about medicinal teas. For example Goldenrod. Does it make a difference if I steep the herbs in hot or cold water?
We reside around St Louis, Mo area. Wondering if you can lead us to any group in pur areaa with such interest and knowledge. Thank you for your informative show.
Hi I just discovered you Chanel while looking for a diy herbs for allergies. I was wondering. Could I combine goldenrod, dandelion, nettle and alfalfa to make capsules?
Thank you i think this is what I'm looking for and I have some put away... I need a tea that will dry out secretions and help with allergies Itchy doggy I just have to check if it's ok for dogs external but he might 😂will lick so I need to check to see if it's good for dogs I think it is.... Need to check
Good video and teaching. I've been looking at adding Golden Rod to Mullein in an effort to reduce chronic infamation with Alpha Gal Syndrome. Might try some boneset too.
Thank you so much for all that great information. Not sure if you didn't know but ragweed is also used to prevent or treat allergies as well, the leaves are used in a tea or tincture IT WORKS. You didn't share what part of the US your in but does your class discuss the different areas, I myself are on the east coast in northern Virginia so I'm guessing that's the south or middle?
Yes! Both of my books have salve recipes in them. Alchemy of Herbs and Wild Remedies. We also have a 9 month long online course where we make all sorts of medicines with people live on video.That course is called Rooted Medicine Circle and enrolls in January (there's a waitlist if you're interested). James Green also has a fantastic medicine making book. Enjoy!
Thanks for your information. I have been trying to learn as much as i can about the goldenrod especially since i have a field full of them. So far i have 1qt. flowers with volka. 1qt.leaves with volka. and boiled a pot of flowers in water to try and make a tea concentrate. I may jar that in 1/2 pt jars water bath, 10 minutes to seal. I want to pick more but not sure my best was to preserve. I do not have a dehydrator. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I think drying the plant is the best way to preserve. If you live in a really humid environment then a dehydrator can be helpful. You can also use the pilot light of a stove. I live in a dry climate and don't use a dehydrator. I'd be interested in hearing how your tea canning experiment goes but, unfortunately, I doubt that will work. Herbal tea has no preservation values and lasts about one day. I'm not sure that canning will do much to preserve it further - but I could be wrong as I haven't actually tried it myself.
I'd also be curious as to why you need so much goldenrod preserved. Two quarts is A LOT for personal use. If you made it with the folk method and it's weak that's one thing but if you used the ratio method and have potent medicinal strength tinctures then you've got quite a lot (unless you have a clinic or something like that). Over the years I've had to learn to make smaller amounts to not waste the plant as well as my own time and energy (and money). The good thing is that more will grow next year. I talk about this more in my episode about my biggest mistakes in herbalism.
Thank you so much for the amazing content! I just found your channel and subscribed. Do you feel like goldenrod is a good choice for fluid in the ears with no infection that turns into mucus? It seems like the best fit I have found so far. Apparently in TCM the ears are connected to the kidneys and goldenrod has an affinity for pairs in the body. I learned that from another herbalist's youtube channel. I'm so excited to try it.
Does anyone know if solidago gigantea has any of these benefits as far as being good for the kidneys, the bladder, pairs of organs, the upper respiratory system, and moving out stubborn mucus? I thought I was buying candensis from Mountain Rose, but when it arrived (facepalm), I realized I had forgotten to check the latin name, and I got a whole pound of gigantea.

I was just thinking that omg, that garden looks totally unreal.. all those gorgeous flowers!!

Great video I really enjoyed it
I use goldenrod for allergies
It helps me with mucus stuck up in the sinuses dries it up
So glad you shared about Goldenrod! It’s certainly a misunderstood and under-utilized herb with impactful benefits.

So glad you found me! I'm already intrigued about your "herbalist's dream garden". Sounds lovely!
I started picking goldenrod today in my backyard and researching how to use it. I grow several raised beds of lavender
I have goldenrods all over my farm. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing!

Me too and I ask myself why didn't I do it sooner 😂. I have hips in apple cider and hawthorn berries in poitin on brew. Love from Ireland.
This is my favorite tea with honey.

Great presentation on goldenrod!
Thank you @Rosalee.
Would goldenrod be helpful for the condition called Overactive Bladder?
And please what are the names of the other herbal seeds you have?
I have IC and no doctor can seem to help me with this pain. I will try golden rod.
Speaking of the urinary tract, would goldenrod work for bedwetting or prostate enlargement?
Please make a video on those raised flower beds in background.
Thank you Rosalee! I will definitely be making a tincture for a cat dander allergy . I always learn so much from you!
Just a great video packed with loads of information that’s very useful! Thank you all so much! Also I really like your timestamps but make it easy to jump from one section to another. You are all the great team, God bless you all!

Wow I had a white spider last yr on my fragrant pink rose.
Thank you so much for your video
God bless
Your outfit is beautiful!!!❤

You are so welcome!
Hi, thanks for sharing, I love your videos, a lot of goldenrod have rust on them, are they still safe to use?
Hi, we typically only harvest vibrant plants for herbal medicine.
Cheers,
Karin Rose
I don't know how to make salves or tinctures. Where can I buy a book about this? Do you have one,please?
Yes! Both of my books have salve recipes in them. Alchemy of Herbs and Wild Remedies. We also have a 9 month long online course where we make all sorts of medicines with people live on video.That course is called Rooted Medicine Circle and enrolls in January (there's a waitlist if you're interested).

@@HerbsWithRosalee where do I jion?
I love your vedios.
Maybe people have confused goldenrod with Scott broom which a lot of people allergic to, including me
I look forward to your videos. I moved to Italy. Can you recommend resources to also learn about European herbs?
Most of the herbs I talk about are European herbs. :)
@@HerbsWithRosalee thanks. This will be good for me 😁

Does Goldenrod help with prostate cancer?
Castor oil and baking soda. 1 tblsp oil. Teaspoon baking soda

I could see goldenrod being a good choice. I also think of elderflower and self heal (Prunella). Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I will consider those too. @@HerbsWithRosalee

Yes! Most goldenrods are interchangeable and that one is commonly used.
@@HerbsWithRosalee Omg, thanks! That is such a relief. I should know better than to not check latin names though. Haha
