Goldenrod The Benefits & How to Tincture

[@clinte9897]

There’s a few videos where people harvest, chop up, and stuff in jar, cover with vodka and hide it away for couple months. Hardly nobody has a follow up video or pulling it out of cabinet and straining it, and bottling it in dropper and how the best way to take it is. Can you make part 2 please?

[@tanyabonnett7787]

I don't think we have that in Tasmania, I've never seen anything like Golden Rod. Barry is back to his happy self. It's wonderful to see all the animals are out and about with you, I can hear the kids in the background. Have a wonderful day

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there, it's great to see you. I agree there's nothing that makes me happier than being out with them and enjoying nature. I hope you have a beautiful day.

[@cheryl739]

I loved seeing Barry, Rose, the Guineas and had to smile.....hearing Tina and Penny. Love the video. Love the hand me down info. Sounds like an interesting tincture for sure. Glad to read up on it. Thanks for sharing and hugs to you and the critters. 💕💕💕

[@christopherspalding8110]

I love his little critters too. I used to forage for Goldenrod with my little sht-su buddy Peanuts. I just lost the little rascal after 13yrs of loving him. And watching him with his little dog running around made me smile too. I'm learning a lot about making the tentures and teas and such and it helps me make use and teaches me techniques to preserve the wonderful plants like Goldenrod and I like to preserve and not waste any of the jewl weed I have growing around the house. I used to say "howdy do down dare little buddy" when Peanuts ran up to me. Happy Goldenrod foraging

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi Pat. Another interesting video to learn more about a plant I had heard of but not understood. The critters enjoyed it too. I am loving being spoiled by videos this week and you do sound a little more relaxed. Big hugs to you and tickles to the critters. X x x

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi, it's great to see you I hope things are going well for you and Ken. Have a wonderful day.

The Golden Rod is getting ready to bloom in my garden in rural Eastern Washington State USA . I can't wait to make a tincture. I have Mullein tincture I'll be bottling up today. It's been in the pantry in the dark for almost 3 months. I made a wonderful Plantain salve this Summer that has helped with wasp stings, itchy rashes, sores, burns, dry skin etc. My sister calls it a miracle salve and it kind of is. I was surprised you use water in the Golden Rod tincture. I use 100 proof Vodka which is 50% alcohol and 50% water so the Golden Rod gets plenty of water to do it's thing. I learned from April Graham of SHE IS OF THE WOODS (KZbin). I'll be subbing to your channel as well.

[@karenklucas923]

Thank you I love April .she s very. Thorough..I dried mine.. can I still use in tenure or should I use it for tea. Also dried golden and Honey?? 😢

[@christopherspalding8110]

Yeah don't forget Goldenrod are in bloom getting ready here in KY too, So don't do what I did last year and wait to the plant starts loosing it's bright yellow Goldenrod color and luster before you pick any!

[@corrinenolan344]

Youre a pleasant person. Refreshing to listen to. I'm making a tincture today. I just enjoy watching others talk about it while I make mine 😁 thanks for the video.

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Fabulous info to learn! I sent this link to her and I'm sure she'll really appreciate it, thanks so much! I always learn so much from ya, you're a valuable asset to our soaping community! Aw, hearing the little kids was so nice. Nature and animals really make me feel at peace. I'd love a background video like this to listen to before going to sleep! Appreciate ya in so many ways! You are loved by so many! You're amazing! Hugz, Tree

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Tree, it's great to see you. I hope you're doing well. nature's all around us, and it is important for us to try to take it in.

[@DigitHomesteading]

I just live all the sounds in this video! Thanks for the great information. It will be my first tincture and ill post a video 💚💚💚

[@sabrinaaguilera7657]

So interesting to me how intelligent you are with so much knowledge. You’re just a wealth of information of invaluable information for healthy things for our bodies. You are so amazing Patrick with how much you know. You are blessed to have an excellent brain that works so well in maintaining all the knowledge you’ve gained over the years. Thank you for sharing with us what you know. I really appreciate your sharing. 🥰👍

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Sabrina, you give me far too much credit, I actually do a lot of reading on these items otherwise I wouldn't know this either or some of it is just life experience but either way I'm no genius.

[@christinecombs3465]

How much do you take after your tincture is complete?

[@camsanders5756]

Thanks for the links! I'm a medical science researcher and take a pretty skeptical view of claims with regard to essential oils and herbs. It's great that these generational therapies are being tested in a structured way -- will look for more info in the literature. :)

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there, I know what you mean and with the internet it is important for us all to remain skeptical and do the research and make sure we know what we're putting into our bodies.

[@earthangel8730]

Essential oils are a scam in my opinion but herbal medicine such as tinctures, infused oil, salves, vinegars.... are GREAT!

[@pickledbeetroots4413]

Struggled to find goldenrod where I live in the UK , after watching this I think I’ll resort to ordering some online :o) Love seeing all your fun little animals enjoying there place on your land ! It must be such a magical place to reside x

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there, I do know some people have ordered the seeds and grown it successfully in the UK and some areas so you may want to research that a little further.

[@denisebarnett6290]

Please make a follow-up

[@AngelaAmbroiseconsulting]

Thanks for the scientific articles.

[@layaljalloul1028]

Very glad to visit the farm today, feels very relaxing😍! This herb seems very interesting and has many benefits. Don't know if it grows here, I'll search for it. Thanx for sharing the information Patrick.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Layal, thanks so much it's really nice to see you. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you

[@SovereignTrueNorth]

I can't find anywhere how many drops of tincture you take?

[@soapsforlove4168]

I don't have access to fresh goldenrod but it really is an amazing plant and quite pretty too! Have you ever thought about selling it dried? I hope you are doing well dear soapy brother.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

That's a great idea! Thank you Renee, big hugs

[@SoyandShea]

That's such a pretty vibrant flower. I have just looked to see if we get it here and it is listed as an invasive weed so I must look around for it.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hugs Keeley, yes here many consider it a weed too, but not me :)

[@LorraineKrueger-o3b]

I don't care for the jazz in the background, it's nerve racking. I would rather just listen to you talk. Thanks for the video!

[@SaintTrinianz]

I understand that goldenrod contains quercetin. Do you know which is better at releasing the quercetin, alcohol or water?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Yes that is only extracted via ethanol/alcohol so many of the other constituents are soluble in water.

[@vondy4everrbd4ever24]

Oh Patrick Im so Happy tintures are coming home I hope you make more tintures 🥰 my husband is going to go crazy he will have to expand shelfs 😂 your tintures are so good 🥰 thank you Patrick for all your great products there a big blessing and you always put your love into it 💖💋🌹🙏🏽💖

My eyes and nose runs nearly yr round, sine we moved north to NE Oklahoma. Rare oddity, though, I might sneeze only 1-3X a year. I found Goldenrod, Mullen, and Yarrow along side roads and gathered an abundance from local DG down the road, couple yrs back. I spread it, Mullen, Echinacea, Yarrow, and Bee Balm throughout my open areas, around the trees. It’s not a great abundance, but enough for me to harvest to make tinctures and dried for teas, for our close family and friends. Does it not also mold/turn bad w/adding water to fresh, raw plant matter?

[@yellowrosehomemadesoaps]

Hi Sir, one more herb to be added in our directory . Always worth to watch your videos. TFS. Stay safe.

My husband and I are going wildcrafting here in Houston. I don't know any allies right now, but I'm hoping to learn :-)

[@jfernandez2926]

How do you clean goldenrod leaves

[@TheMelodicMess]

Do you have to wash before making a tincture? I did some foraging and I’m not sure how to make sure it’s clean. Also grabbed some from around my home. We don’t spray so I know it’s alright

[@FoxFireFarm]

Question. Would this would safe for a 5 year old? Or should i make a glycerin? Can you do goldenrod with glycerin?

[@tico25]

Wow tinctures I love it ..wow nature nature animals wow Congrats and thanks for sharing this with us...

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there, thanks so much for your comments. I hope you have a great weekend.

[@JUDGEMENT60]

My goldenrod tincture is like a foggy apple juice color. Is that ok? Or did I do something wrong?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

that sounds about right, the pollen from the flowers can cause this and it's quite normal.

[@denisebarnett6290]

Does the vodka have to be 100% .

[@daintrymanning3774]

Like to know how to use after 45 days

[@macreato911]

I understood that 100 proof vodka was 50% water? So water is already included when using that vodka. Are you recommending more water?

[@robertflores2877]

When making a tincture, how much do use and how to use it?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

@@robertflores2877 a lot depends on what herb that your tincturing, for this particular one I recommend one to two droppers full twice a day in water or another liquid. Thanks so much Patrick

[@firehosediy7507]

I’m a little confused. You said to dry the golden rod because water will cause spoilage, then you add 1/3 water and 2/3 vodka.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there You want to drive when making a salve or bomb where you're using oils but if you're mixing it with a water or alcohol it's okay to use it fresh. Hope that makes sense. Thanks so much

[@Elcee-c7t]

@@SoapyOaksFarmThere is water in the alcohol since you're not using high proof. So I'm also confused as to why you add water?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

@@Elcee-c7t hi there, it depends on what herb I'm using some require very little alcohol to extract The beneficial constituents while others require a higher percentage of alcohol. Thank you very much

[@leslimcquaig1875]

I've made some goldenrod tinture but cannot find any information on how to take it after you have let it set for 8 or so weeks. Do you strain it or just drink it and how much and how many times a day?

[@vondy4everrbd4ever24]

Hi Patrick I used this tinture today it is so good its smell and does not taste bad so nice I want to purchase more but I dont know how much to use I put the droper filled in a 8 onz glass of water since my face hurts on one side I started using in the morning I would love to know the exact amount or measures Im forrgetting my language Youll understand me Patrick Im so happy they look so beautiful on the shelfs 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰please make more tintures Patrick big hugs 💕🙏🏽💋🌹Patrick can you make one of tumeric ?

[@BradfordHomestead]

Tinctures with the leaves taste better

[@skyangel6336]

I've never understood what container I could use ...Can I just do a ball pint jar with one of those plastic leak proof lids? After 45 days do you just strain it?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Yes you can absolutely use that. Have you similar jars myself? And yeah just make sure that you strain it well

[@gloriayoung392]

Hello soapy...Do you know Anything about Lye Soap???🐞🚩🏁😁

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi there Gloria, oh yes indeed I do. Did you know that all soap is lye soap? Lye is necessary to turn the oils into soap. on many products it may not be listed as lie they may just say the oils have been saponified, but that just means they used lye to turn the oils into soap. I hope that makes sense.

[@elizabethG633]

Your music is very distracting. Thanks for the info on Goldenrod.

[@solaura6218]

If you use 40% (2/5 alcohol) Vodka it means 60% (3/5) is already water.

[@nadiapovta3886]

I on accident cut some premature flowers, could I still use it? Or not as good as fully ripped flowers?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Nadia, even the immature flowers have many of the active constituents.

Is there Golden Rod in the Houston, TX area or surrounding areas? I live in Spring, TX. I'm trying to learn about herbs around here. I think I'm going to the library tomorrow. Thanks.

[@clinte9897]

Yes you should have it

[@irenem4578]

Does it taste nice? How much to take? Interesting tincture. I must research whether we have this here in Germany.....So I can make some. Thank you.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Irene, no I'm afraid it doesn't taste very good you would want to mix it with another liquid cuz it can be a little bitter if you take it straight.

[@rosewienke2102]

Agreed

[@kelly311977]

How do you drink...? How much or how...?

RIGHT! Even if they did know ,their not going to talk to you about plants as medicine because they make Cash by writing prescription not helping you with your amazing Goldenrod tentures that would render their prescription useless.

No it’s not welcome in my garden any more. It spreads like crazy and taking over my huge berm. I can’t get rid of it. I’ve tried to kill it, nope that didn’t work. I’ve tried to dig it up and every little piece of root starts a new plant. So any gardener thinking of planting it in your garden - beware! Great medical plant but harvest it some where else.

[@coolroy4300]

It likes to grow wild near swamps and lakes where people don't live otherwise it gets cut down by mowers and dies away.
