Fantastic D.I.Y. - F.Y.I. on Goldenrod!
Goldenrod (Solidago)
Seasonal allergies getting you down? Did you know that many plants that are considered problematic for Fall allergies can be the very thing to turn to for relief from allergic symptoms. Goldenrod is one such plant. Considered more of a problem than a benefit, Goldenrod has gotten a bad rap.
Here is some food for thought; Goldenrod is great for food as well as a great remedy for a host of ailments from Allergic Rhinitis to Zygomycosis.
Perhaps the most well known topic of Goldenrod is seasonal allergies, which would likely make the most well known use a medicinal tea - which is completely FREE for the picking!
Medicinal Properties of Goldenrod include anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antifungal, antihistaminic, antispasmodic, antiviral, circulatory stimulant, decongestant, diuretic, hypotensive, mucilage, skin healing, skin tonic, urinary tonic, vasodilator, and more.
There are a host of amazing benefits and simple recipes which makes this beauty a great addition to your wellness toolkit. I have included a short list of links below for F.Y.I. & D.I.Y. articles and videos (good listening while driving or doing chores), so you can dive right in for more info and demos!
