Solidago virgaurea |
Solidago virgaurea (goldenrod or woundwort) is an herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae. It is grown as a garden flower with many different cultivars. It flowers profusely in late summer.
Herbalism
This plant was cultivated in the Arab world, who used it in their medical system. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it was used in Europe to heal wounds. It has astringent, diuretic, antiseptic and other properties.
Modern herbalists also use it to treat catarrh and kidney stones.[1] It is blended with other tonic herbs to cleanse or "flush" the kidneys and bladder, either as part of a healing fast, or to treat cystitis. In the case of a fast, it is made into a combined tincture as noted, taken with a supporting blend of herbal teas, and grape or watermelon juice is drunk through the day, alternating with Potassium broth.[2]
