It's also a powerful healer that can heal in so many ways.

The name Solidago (Goldenrod) means " to made whole."

Goldenrod in history of Native Americans have used by chewed on leaves to relieve sore throat or toothache.

Natives have also used it for bee stings and made tea with its flowers and leaves to reduce fever.

Historically, Goldenrod also has been used for wound healing as well as diabetes and tuberculosis. Now it is mostly used to help with water loss in the body.

The blooms and leaves can also be used to craft medical Oil and Salve for topical use on skin.

Goldenrod's value was recognized over hundreds of years ago as a State flower of Nebraska. In 1926 Kentucky did the same.

Anise scented sweet Goldenrod is the State Herb of Delaware (one of the only two states that even have a State Herb).

If you already have Goldenrod, trade with your native plant friends, and add more variety of Goldenrod to your herb garden or landscape.

You can never have enough.
