Goldenrod
Family:
Compositae |
Latin Name:
Solidago virgaurea |
Description
Variable perennial with a knotted rhizome and upright stems. Yellow flowers are born in the summer, followed by brown fruits with a tuft of short, white hairs.
Common Uses
Because it is an antioxidant, diuretic, and astringent, goldenrod is a valuable remedy for urinary tract disorders. The diuretic effect is very helpful for cases of colon bacilli. The saponins act specifically against the Candida fungus, the cause of yeast infections and oral thrush.
History
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, goldenrod powder was exported to London for its healing powers and was sold for as much as a half crown per pound. One superstition says that he who carries the plant will find treasure. Thus, the goldenrod is the symbol for good fortune.
