My Granddaughter and I actually harvested goldenrod this afternoon. Planning to infuse in oil as well as dry some for tea. I still have plenty of tincture left, but I hadn't thought about vinegar. If we have enough, we will try that also. If not, we'll be back out harvesting next week!
Last year, I made 2 wide mouth quart jars of goldenrod tincture. I'm wondering if I can use small amounts of it in tea. I thought that I'd use more than I have. Can I mix it with beeswax to make a salve or do I have to make oil infusions of the plant & leaves. Its macerated in Canadian Mist whiskey.
Loved this!
I'm going to pick a bunch tomorrow to make tincher, oil and dry for tea. This is the most I've seen in years. Nature knows we need it this year.
Excellent video Emily, will start adding Goldenrod to my list of medicinal herbs, and teas. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!!

The dogs of my life have all seemed out goldenrod nearly daily. I grow some but my Brocky prefers to find his own. Thank you

Inspiring...thanks...huge meadow nearby....I think I will go pay it a visit tomorrow.....
I’ve harvested Goldenrod before but it went to seed. Is there a way to harvest and have it stay in flower form? Is it time sensitive? Love your video!
I usually dry it or tincture when I harvest it if I want to capture it in flower form. I try to process anything I harvest within a day or two
How do you know what the dosage is for the different uses?

Yes you can add tinctures to tea. I have never worked with tinctures in salve. - Maggie
Small correction, the State flower of S.C. is Yellow jessamine. Great video.
Thanks for the info!
I remember someone staying that golden rod was the antidote to poison ivy skin irritation...if it is, how do you prepare and use it?
I have used a wash of the goldenrod infusion for a little relief
@@holisticlivingschool thanks. It's for a friend.
Does golden rod have two different types of leaves. Because I have two different stems and l am not sure which one is golden rod.
There are several varieties of Goldenrod. I wonder which ones you have?
Can I be your student? I love this.
Yes, of course. Check our website for my upcoming classes. :)
