The Healing Powers of Goldenrod

[@debrafrederick9210]

I adopted a rescue dog and it was required that he be neutered before I could bring him home, the poor thing was so swollen in his male parts. When I let him out in the yard he made a beeline for the goldenrod which was in full bloom, he began eating it...not nibbling on it like they do dog grass, but biting off 4 or 5 leaves at a time and chewing and swallowing like he was starved and had not eaten in weeks. He cleared the leaves off of about 5 plants. I did not know what type of properties it had, but his focused attention to it told me he was acting from prior experience so I let him continue and he stopped and then began exploring the yard. The next morning, the swelling was completely gone and I had to look up the healing properties of Goldenrod, that is how I ended up here.....great video!

I never knew about the healing properties of goldenrod until we noticed our dog, who had bone cancer, started chewing specifically on younger stalks of goldenrod when we were on a walk. I watched closely to see what he was eating each time, and it was always goldenrod. I then researched it on the internet to learn more about this plant. I wonder how the dog knew what to eat. It was amazing. Your dog is cute, by the way. :)

Have a really bad peptic ulcer causes by H Pylori bacteria and I use so many of these flowers around my house. Golden rod is probably the most potent. Been utilizing mushrooms as well and feel so much better today. Went from 155 pds now down to 115 and thought I was on my way out till I used mint tyme chamomile and cone flowers to name a few. After the last two years I'm done with the medical establishment for obvious reasons.. Everything we could ever need is usually growing right in our back yards. Yarrow is the best and his videos are so knowledgeable. Stay Blessed everyone.

I have used a lot of Golden Rod in the past. The way I do it is, I cut the growing plant off at the bottom of the good healthy leaf section. Make sure leaves have no fungus growing on them. Leaves have to look healthy. I use a pruning shears to cut them. I pick my yrs supply of Golden Rod plants with as much stem that has good healthy looking leaves. I will have a large armful of Golden Rod. And bring them home and put them out in the sun to dry, if possible. If it is raining a lot, I find a place inside to put them to dry. Once dry, I strip dry leaves and flowers (which have turned to fluff and seeds by now), off the hard woody stems. Then I crush it all up by hand as fine as possible and store in airtight containers. This I use to make tea, as follows: I use a 2.5 litre pot and fill with water and bring to boil. Have about 2 cups of golden rod tea ready. Remove pot of boiling water from element and immediately add the Golden Rod Tea to pot. Do not stir. Cover pot and let sit for several hours, until cold or room temp. By this time, all the Golden Rod tea should of settled to the bottom. And you should have a rich dark brown tea. This is a concentrate. I strain it, and put it in a pitcher and store in the fridge in the coldest part of the fridge, just short of freezing. It will last a long time. When I want a cup of tea, I pour about 50 to 100 ml in cup and add room temperature water to fill cup and drink it. I find that I actually only need enough of the concentrate to colour the water. IMO it is a powerful soothing drink.

I appreciate you sharing your "recipe". I came down to leave MY, "little concoction tea mix" and I see that- "Whelp, someone's already got one down here." The ONLY things I would add, are based on what you're "feeling", (maybe an abcess tooth- [since "seasons" ARE about to change/are changing.. I'm getting a LOT of questions as to "what to use"/"when to use"..] more people will find their body's, "struggling to adjust", and with each year- the "struggle to adapt", becomes harder & harder on the body itself. That's simply, "aging". It's natural & it happens. Plants, however- Will, can & ALREADY HAVE- "slowed down that process". Adding cinnamon, honey, citrus juice, other plant "juices" will "help" to utilize more of "Goldenrod's properties". Also, when it comes to "harvesting", just "SAY NO"- to "imposter syndrome". You do NOT, "HAVE TO"- "leave with an empty basket & come back- 'FULL'.. in order to be "successful" or "ethical" for that matter. Always LEAVE- MORE than ½ of what EVER, 'IT' is that you're going "foraging"/"gathering" FOR! There are SO SO many, who- Not only "CANNOT tell" when/why/how "empty basket syndrome", FACTually- "Works", and while, "ignoring" & "denying"- "#TakingResponsibilityForYourActions", is NOT- "a BIG thing" [right NOW- "..bc gov/pharma- are NOT, 'taking responsibility for 'THEIR' ACTions.."] this,, does NOT, "MEAN": "OH, okay. Well- if 'THEY', 'don't HAVE TO'- 'take responsibility', then- neither am I." I PINKY PROMISE you, [in this case/this time..] YOU, ARE "The ONLY One", who- IS: - going to "HAVE TO"... - "pay the consequences" of YOUR OWN, "RE ACTions". Hence, why so many 'humans', 'bodys' ARE- "breaking down", at alarmingly rapid pace.

It's amazing that God made specific plants, herbs, for specific organans, tissues, body parts

[@Universal.G]

Yeah like poison ivy right.....

[@pechaa]

That isn’t how it works. No “god” is necessary. There are limited resources in nature. For plants, that means limited space to soak in sunlight and spread roots. So a plant that can utilize resources others can’t will be more successful at proliferating. For example, by sprouting and blooming where or when other plants aren’t, by utilizing nutrients that maybe others aren’t, and by producing chemicals that counteract parasitic bacteria and fungi better than in their neighbors. In this way, plants with niche specializations proliferate. It might then be the case that animals, such as ourselves, that eat a particular plant species also proliferate because some of the same innovations that benefit plants also benefit animals. Over time, there are more animals that eat the useful plant, simply because the ones that didn’t eat it don’t proliferate as well. And a concurrent benefit is that there are more useful plants for eating because animals have returned certain benefits - for example, fertilizing the plants with their gaseous, liquid, and solid wastes, carrying the plants’ seeds in their fur, between toes, or in their digestive tracts, and thinning out thick clumps of a species which might strengthen those that are left. For thousands of years humans have even been proactively cultivating the plants that we find the most useful. We think of cultivation as something we only do with vegetables and grains, but herbs and flowers have also been cultivated for thousands of years. So it isn’t a coincidence or a divine act that these plants exist. It is a result of natural selection, which in the last many thousand years includes human selection and cultivation.

[@albanymountainhomestead]

I follow an herbalist and she recommends starting with a ratio of 1:5 so you can make a tea, oil or tincture. So you can adjust the recipe if you need it stronger. So an example is 1 oz herb to 5 oz liquid. Then add another 1/2 oz at a time till you reach a desired effectiveness. Good luck I too got very frustrated with the lack of specific information like measurements because the average Joe doesn't know how much to use, and fear doing it wrong. He did mention a 1:2 ratio so that would be for a tea 3 oz herb to 6 oz water.

FYI when making a tea, tincture or an oil and they say to use a certain ratio like 1:2 ratio means to use 1 oz herb to 2 oz liquid. I follow another herbalist who recommended starting with a 1oz:5 oz ratio and adjust it up by 1/2 oz for desired effectiveness. It's not always best to start too strong as some herbs are more potent than others. I hope this helps those who are leery to dive onto natural medicine. I understand the struggle!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge; it's a wonderful video and it's great to know more about this special plant. As a native plant and wildlife enthusiast I just want to clarify that describing this herb as "invasive" is a bit misleading and confusing to some people. Solidago canadensis is one of many species of goldenrod which are native to North America. While goldenrod is a plant that grows in an assertive manner and can be considered to be "weedy" because it's such a strong grower, the word "invasive" implies that it's an introduced species that displaces native plants. It's a species that is really a very important food source for many creatures, including all manner of pollinators but also various caterpillars as well, including some butterflies. Those creatures then go on to be food sources for other creatures such as birds or reptiles... you get the picture. For those of you who say the plant is covered by "bugs" please don't try to get rid of the them! Being a tremendous source of food for many different creatures is just another one of this plant's amazing superpowers! Being such as strong grower, there should be plenty for all to share. Watch and be amazed friends! : ) Thanks again for your wonderful video, Yarrow!

I have heard that golden rod is the antigen to ragweed allergies- I am going to go get some today & start drinking it as a tea to find out if it works that way!

We tincture it. I use it together with ragweed (preflowering), red clover and a small amount of lobelia. It has been a game changer. I use it a couple of times a day in allergy season plus more if I need it.

She's not blooming here yet but the field is full of goldenrod and purple aster, I can't wait until they bloom 😍

[@larrylapierre2295]

What do you use purple aster for I have tons

[@cizumtac7240]

@@larrylapierre2295 I'm not sure if it has any uses, but it sure is a beautiful sight growing mixed in with goldenrod 😍 I know it indicates moisture rich soil but that's about all I can tell you... good luck and happy travels down the plant path my friend, there's always more to learn so if you find out any uses let me know 😊

[@jojow8416]

I have so much Goldenrod on my property here in central Massachusetts and am so happy to learn of its many healing benefits. Thank you and God bless you for sharing your brilliant knowledge.

[@IntuitiveHealthSolutions]

I love goldenrod. There is lots in Ontario. I find it works really well to resolve colds, especially in the early stage.

[@Herbal_Jedi]

Thanks for adding that... good one for this coming cold season.. I love seeing all the goldenrod whenever I go to ontario..

[@illusion7303]

I'm very thankful to find you Jedi ! 👍👌😊💕

[@carrieeaton5435]

My first experience with Golden rod I bought elecampain seedlings at a nursery...but they were Golden rod. I learned about the herb on the fly and grew it for several years. A first love so to speak. Love that I ran across this video as I've added it to my list to reaquaint with this year. Love the doggo run by at the beginning 😍

[@joshuajones1319]

Soo this flower was randomly growing near our house, and our dog would chew on it... My wife asked me what it was, and now im watching your amazing explanation...! Timeless video man..!

[@farmingowl1]

Hi from Kentucky! Thank you so much for your knowledge.

[@thenorthstargirl]

Drinking some of my own goldenrod tea right now! It is so easy to make, I harvested mine over a year ago. Medicine that grows in your own backyard... oh the things we have forgotten we already know. I also drink my own wild lettuce tea. It's crazy to think of just how much power we actually do have, and how much nature has to offer us... for free, abundantly. Thanks for your video! :)

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Thank you for actually telling us “how” to make it. So many will tell us what it’s for but not how or how much. 👍🏼

[@marym5802]

I have used it to cure poison ivy rash for years. I make a tea from the blossoms and a few leaves. Then wash the rash with it a few times daily till it clears up.

[@chathpiersath8286]

I usually cut this as part of my flower arrangement but I never thought of it as a medicinal herb. Thanks for this.

[@kathysemrau2301]

When l was a kid, l was told l was allergic to goldenrod. Now it grows all around my house. Last year l filmed a bloom of goldenrod and all it's insect friends pollinating the bud. Thank you for this video.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

It's possibly ragweed that you're allergic to? It blooms at the same time as the beautiful golden rod.

Yarrow,thank you again for another bit of plant wisdom! Peace and Love from northern IL,USA.

Just found a volunteer patch I. The memorial garden I created for my late mom… a big batch which is amazing . I can’t wait to work with it. Thank you

[@cdog3576]

Incredible . The old lady who lived in my family's home years ago before us must have grow this and to find out it can help my folks in there old age is incredible thank you so so much

[@FunghiJacob]

Look out for that bear running around! I have kidney issues and ive always been enchanted by this bloom every year. Hope we have more groundbreaking science to make more medicine from Earth that don’t have all the side effects. One day. Stay positive. ♥️

[@yvonneschlame8657]

This got me really excited, I picked some at a bird eco sanctuary, and am just drinking my first tea right now. Incidentally I picked a card just before, which happens to be "Balance" (Messages Lumières card deck by Mario Duguay) 🙏😉❤️

[@freemindcanada9319]

2 plants (weeds i thought) in my garden got me curious this year.. and both have led me to you! Thankyou. btw..plants we're Golden Rod and Mullein.

[@beebeetee9957]

EXCELLENT!

[@18chris0089]

Watched a few of your videos sporadically, this one popped up after picking some last week for a fall flower bouquet. Had no idea of the medicinal benefits, have these all over the yard. The video came at just the right time, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Love and light!

[@gregoryjacksonsr7452]

Been really getting into foraging and making tintures last few yrs. It really gets you back to where I think we all belong. In nature. Look at the world and society today. No thanks. I'd rather talk to plants and animals than deal with that! This world keeps you in a constant state of fear and hate cause you can't love and care while you hate and are afraid. Much 🥰 y'all.

[@codyhobbs1100]

I am learning so much with these videos. So glad I came across this dude!! These are the classes we need in schools!!

[@missadel20]

I was wondering if you could do a video about the medicinal properties of catnip. I know it's good for anxiety and has been used for everything from colic to cancer. It would be great to hear your talk about!!!🌳🍃🌿💚💚💚

[@deborahcampbell9602]

Ooo! Yes agreed! He would be great person to explain it best 🤗

[@tersta1]

I use the stalks of Goldenrod to stake vegetables growing in my garden. It works well as a woven fence to keep sprawling/spreading plants confined to a row too. Thanks for the medicinal info. I like the flavor of Goldenrod leaf tea, but haven't really needed to use it medicinally.

I take Goldenrod tincture (liquid extract) in water as needed for sinus allergy symptoms. It's always helped me with that.

One of the best videos I've seen. Very well produced and love the enthusiasm and energy. Thank you very much. Keep up the awesome work!

Cool video I'm inspired now going to look in my backyard I think I have some Golden Rod growing wild 🙏

Thank you for this information .. I have been calling these three big patches of plants rag weed for years and now i know they are golden rod !!!! useful etc ..thanks again

[@beccaharden7041]

I have a whole field of this stuff. I always leave it be for the bees but I never knew it was medicinal! I’m so excited to add this to my pantry.

[@wjhyde]

my favorite youtube channel ever. I'm heading out back for some goldenrod now. Thank you, I love the cheery exciting energy.

[@BeautyFromDecay]

I used golden rod as a external wash for my cats oral cancer, which was breaking out into the cheek and chin. It was the end of the line for her, and I figured why not try it as an attempt to make her more comfortable. I believe that it gave us a bit more time together.

[@vsadha5241]

did it work

[@opheliabells]

also read about honey that was/is made only from the flowers of goldenrod and thought i'd love to try that one day. Maybe get my own backyard hive going? where they can feed off all my plants i bring home from around here in the PNW. The variety of goldenrod I have found appears to be Canadian Goldenrod.

We need to teach this stuff as essential. Rather than political and fringe subjects that benefit nobody.

I take tinctures of it for my kidney stones and reoccurring utis...I haven't had issues since and my dog likes to chew on it also when we're outside...I knew I took it for other reasons though..anti inflammatory and antioxidants ✌🏽❤️

Yarrow I love your videos, I just recently discovered your channel. Thanks for the information. :) It's very interesting to me, to learn about the healing properties of these amazing plants all around us. I'm just beginning to learn and study. I have to say your Mulling over Mullein video got me started on this path. So thank you!

[@Handsoflight7766]

I have diabetes and this tincture really helps with candida and kidneys

[@entrepreneursfinest]

This is great to use with species of dock because it pushes the calcium crystals out of the kidneys that burdock and yellow dock can cause.

[@michelleasunnydays140]

I have curly dock and burdock

[@entrepreneursfinest]

@@michelleasunnydays140 It's a bitter concoction that I haven't found any method of making palatable but it has very good health benefits. I would use it perhaps once or twice a week for two to four weeks for a really good cleanse. Be cautious of any bittering agents such as dock if you have a history of gall bladder issues or stones, and since some people are allergic to goldenrod it should be treated thoroughly first to ensure no reactions are going to occur. Oxalic acid is also present in dock species. It's generally harmless in normal doses, but if there's a history of acidic kidneys or diabetic acidosis you may want to be cautious. In time it can lower uric acid levels in the body, but may elevate acidity temporarily when first taken.

[@helenmartin6895]

I made a quart jar of goldenrod, with vodka,it's beautiful!It's actually two years old !Thanks for letting me know what to use it for.I knew it had to be good!I will strain it and bottle it up ,in tincture bottles,!My husband gets frequent UtI ,so we will put it to use.Thanks so much!
