A fun fact: Goldenrod was known as 'Liberty Tea' by the colonists because it was the tea that they drank while they were boycotting the British tea!
i thought that was red raspberry leaf tea that was liberty tea?
Patriotic beverage, awesome. 😊❤

Might have been whatever people knew and had available. More than one thing.
Coffee also became a big deal in America during that time. When colonists stopped buying tea because of the tea tax, they started using coffee as an alternative too! 😁
That’s also where “bergamot” got its name here too, it wasn’t available after the tea party
This is my wife's go to plant when her severe ulcers are flaring up. It is known to stem internal bleeding and killing bad yeasts, which I believe aided me in losing weight without hunger...70lbs 👍
WOW! That's great!!
Interesting
Slippery Elm will heal and coat the whole digestive system as well.
Hi! I just love your channel! I wish you would publish a magazine every month, either in print or digital. We live in the city, in Oklahoma. We raise bees (actually, I taught my husband beekeeping and he stole it from me! I never get a chance to love on them because he is very territorial
with his other women…lol) our yard is usually an overgrown mess because my husband refuses to mow until the girls are finished with it. We are not good neighbors…lol. We give a lot of the neighbors honey because they put up with us 😂 I have had a lifelong affair with herb growing and foraging. Thanks for what you do, I am so blessed with the information you share. ❤
what a gift that you and your mother share this bond. it's such a joy to watch you two interact and teach together, over shared wisdom and passions. 😊
The respiratory culprit in the Fall is not goldenrod, but ragweed ! They frequently grow together, and goldenrod tea/ tincture will mitigate the respiratory symptoms.
I can attest to this, I make goldenrod tincture and was passing it out to family during last end of summer/autumn allergy season. All good feedback from relatives as well as my own lived experiences.
Our rabbits love ragweed! We feed it all to them.
Amazing how The Father placed plants like these together. One is a helper to us when the other is a problem. Thank you Father for you glorious ways.
That’s right, ragweed is wind-pollinated therefore has really light, wind born pollen, whereas goldenrod is insect-pollinated so has heavier, sticky pollen. Goldenrod pollen would not blow around, therefore is decidedly not the allergy culprit.
I’m also learning that ragweed is a nutritious powerhouse! The seed oil from ragweed has about 40% crude fat and 50% crude protein! It seems like the natives used to cultivate it before they stopped to do corn. I’m telling y’all, our rabbits LOVE the ragweed. It may be their favorite weed we’ve given them. It may be an allergen to some degree but we shouldn’t eradicate it! Ragweed could be a life saving plant to have around some day in the near future.
Golden rod is growing all around me... my first thought yesterday, “what can I do with this beautiful weed?” I woke up this morning and there you are sharing your wisdom and telling me what to do with it. I feel so blessed to have found you. Thank you for continuing to share your God given gift.
Gods Pharmacy
I worked outside picking up things from Hurricane Ian.. my throat is a pain. Goldenrod all around. At least it's fewer than it used to be here.
Do you sell guys I’m in Georgia
Do you sell the seeds? I live in Southampton County, VA haven't seed this herb in this area.
@@BeachLuvR72 Here in NC you see goldenrod growing wild along the sides of the road at this time of the year
These wild foraged plant medicines are good to take just for the health benefits. Don't need an ailment to use them. use it on a salad or in a meal..soups. hummus.smoothies etc.. get creative. You don't have to be sick to use it.. it is a natural food source from the earth. Love love the video. thanks for sharing. new subscriber for sure :))
When you get old, aches and pains change your mood so you are grumpy all the time.
I want to thank you guys so very much for the great service you provide to all your subscribers.
I love you all
I have this EVERYWHERE on my property and I had no idea! I'm just getting into medicinal herbs and wild foraging and I'm learning so much! Thank you for sharing this ladies!
You found the right channel for excellent information and education
Me too! And I just found this channel and it’s awesome
I had the same thought. Had no idea!❤ I always ran from it because of my allergies. So many properties I never knew about.
@MrsMarybiz and I actually learned this year that goldenrod gets blamed for ragweed allergies because they bloom around the same time! I used goldenrod (salidago) in cut flower arrangements all summer and my hubby who has nasty allergies never once had an issue! It has lovely vase life too!
@@AHomesteadingHustle I live in the suburbs of NY. Actually one of the five boroughs but we do have goldenrod here. I also have severe/chronic allergies. Can’t believe I’ve been running from goldenrod all my life. But, the good news is that since the medical world can’t help me, I’ve been turning more and more to homeopathic remedies. So happy I came across this video (and others like it).
I love that you and your mom both get to do this together, so special. 💕
My boyfriend and I harvest goldenrod every year. We make pain relief salves and goldenrod is always an ingredient. It works! I hope you gals find the same relief.
I am so excited to try goldenrod salve
@@brigittemiller5073 as you should be, friend! It is amazing. I have two forms of arthritis and it really does help. I'm so glad to see people out there using these natural cures and relying on nature as a healer! Blessings! 💖
Would you share how you make pain relief salves with goldenrod?
@@michellengo3352 sure! Well it starts with making an infusion with goldenrod and Olive oil (you can use other carrier oils). Then we put it in a double boiler with other oil infusions we make, like calendula and sage (depending on what specific benefits we are going for). We will also use turmeric, cayenne pepper, or ginger. We use more goldenrod than anything. You can also just use goldenrod! No need to do anything extra unless you want or need to.
For one cup of oil we use 2 tbsp of beeswax, melt it all together and then pour into a container.
There are endless possibilities. It really just depends on what you want and need. But I say if you can do it, then go for it! It is empowering and can help you and people around you. 😉❤
BEAUTIFUL! I am a newbie to this type of " PLANT SAVING" not "Weed killing" energy. How wonderful. God is good! Thank you both for the eye opening wonders of GOLDEN ROD!😃😃😃😃
This is what is actually killing all the wildlife, all the invasives aren’t recognized by local wildlife so the don’t eat it, and it grows out of control. Cutting grass a couple times a year compacts the ground, and your grass is probably European grass. There’s was once many ground birds grouse/quail that roamed the USA, most are subsidized now. There was once 21 million acres of prairie in Illinois, they have a fraction of a percent.
Im extremely grateful for you ladies for putting out this video, a few weeks ago I had an UTI that scared me to pieces and the medicine that went along is has some strange side effects (keeping an eye my Achilles Tendon) but my kidneys seem to been effected slightly, so I'm very interested in helping them out. Tonight I found a slightly dry goldenrod that my little one brought in and had my first cup of tea. Tomorrow's nature walk will be all about collecting goldenrod from our yard!!! Thank you for your content. (Also my 10 year old asked if I'm going to become an herbalist, you never know kid!)
Goldenrod is my go-to for head colds. It works so well that I don't ever have to hit the typical OTC meds. Fair warning for those looking to try it - I find that goldenrod makes me PEE! Haha.. be prepared to go a little more frequently.
Yes it does… helps to clear out those filters
How do you use it for colds? I'm just starting my journey with this and want to know everything!!
@@Angelmama714 drinking the tea or making a tincture.
Thank you!
Hello 👋 from West Virginia!
I’ve had a sinus/tooth infection the past week and I swear that the golden rod tincture is what has reduced the inflammation faster than anything else I tried. I was pain free after two days, after horrendous pain for a week. I wish it would grow wild near me! 😊 Kate x
Used to eat this as a kid before it flowered. We called it “wild broccoli” because that’s what it tasted like. Apparently it’s not poisonous because I’m still here. Lol. Didn’t know it could do more than make me sneeze after blooming. Ty. Can’t wait to try some of this stuff out.❤
I have 5 acres of golden rod on a hillside, it just all bloomed. Ive been harvesting and drinking the tea. This was inspiring thank you.
Oh my god.... lucky you!! Yu won't need it all for herbalism of course, but that's enough of it growing to get a real yield of goldenrod honey if you had bees... In the day they considered goldenrod honey as a natural antibiotic.
I like to make a goldenrod jelly. Basically, make a super strong goldenrod tea, add sugar and pectin, simmer, then can it to make it shelf stable. This way I get the benefits of it but with the added convenience of it already being prepared. Sometimes I'll take a teaspoon of the jelly and dissolve it in warm water as a quick tea. Bonus points because my kids love it :). Great video, thanks for sharing!
You blew my mind when you freeze-dried the flower. I NEVER thought about freeze drying fresh flower over drying them 🤯 thank you for the much needed teachings. 🙂
It was so much fun to try this… we have air dried so many herbs as well but this was my first time with Golden rod and it did not disappoint.
Great plant knowledge, thank you so much for sharing! I'm sure you ladies are putting this out there to help people with the power of plants and you are! But what you may not realize is how beautiful and touching the relationship between you two is and how you effect some just by being yourselves. I just lost my mom last year and I miss her so much... Watching you two just talking and working together is absolutely precious 🥹 literally brought tears to my eyes. You have the same hand gestures and body language, tone, it's really sweet. Enjoy your mom, you are very blessed 💖✨🌱
I am astounded by the power of goldenrod. 5 drops of the tincture with some local honey is life changing for my seasonal allergies, just an incredible resource. Aside from St John's wort flower, I do stick to dried plant matter for infusion in oils, due to the water content. I also fill the jar absolutely to the top to leave no/minimal space for air. I find that minimizes the chances for spoilage.
I am surrounded by this beautiful plant. I usually pick it to decorate with. I had no idea☺️. So glad this video came up on my timeline
Interesting plant. Goldenrod is one of my favorites and has been since I was a child. Being raised poor, I would use the thick stems to build structures for play buildings.
In regards to its medicinal aspects, it appears to be similar to stinging nettle. I use stinging nettle tea for my pollen allergies. It literally gave me my life back. It too also helps with arthritic joint pain. I will try the goldenrod flower tea tomorrow morning in place of my stinging nettle tea. I'm excited to see what the flavor is!
I was a bee keeper many years ago and enjoyed standing next to the hives as the bees brought in goldenrod nectar. There was a unique smell, almost like bleach, that would come from the hive as it evaporated the moisture from the nectar.
I sometimes will throw some goldenrod into the chicken coop as a treat. However, they prefer the stinging nettle. Amazingly, it does not bother them.
As an aside... I just came upon your channel today. What caught my attention is how much the younger of you two look exactly like a character in my largest book series. (I'm new to this channel so I don't know names yet.) The character is not introduced until the 2nd book, but she plays a very important part. This is not a plug for my book. I will not post the name here because I do not feel that it would be appropriate. If you are curious, simply send me a private message. I will understand if you don't, so don't feel obligated. I write my books for myself and have no expectation of making money from them.
I am now curious to see what your other videos cover and will spend some time to see. I am sure that I will learn some interesting tips and trick along the way.
All the best.
I really enjoyed watching you two work together ❤️
I've enjoyed golden rod before. I like your use of the freeze dryer. The flowers I left to the bees. As I enjoyed seeing them with their pollen sacs full. At one point I tested the specific gravity of an abandoned ant mantle. My calculation led me to believe it was mostly magnesium oxide. I filled a 14 gallon container with lid about an inch deep with the abandoned ant mantle. Then filled the container with the golden rod shafts after removing the leaves when the bees were done. Added water and a lot of salt. For a salty sun tea. I utilized the solution for a while. I believe I may have made a 10% magnesium chloride solution which has benefits of it's own in the human body. Not to mention the benefits of the golden rod shafts. This tea was a real sustainer. Eventually I added too much salt. And I had to cut the tea one third with sprite. Into the next summer it turned rancid. Leaving me without for a few months. Although we are zoned for farming the local government cited us for having weeds instead of a lawn. So that was the end for the bees that enjoyed it so much. And the human health benefits. Definitely do not feel the same without it. Thanks for creating your video. Happy Holidays!
Maybe you could corral some into an edging and call it a flowerbed? Maybe even grow some other flowering medicinal plants in the same bed?
I'm glad you mentioned arthritis. Last year i developed arthritis in the fingers of my right hand, so bad my hand was stuck curled up each morning and it was very painful to open it. There was no smooth movement, my fingers would pop open and Id often shout from pain. I made a goldenrod tincture and ended up with 4 ounces, letting it sit 6 weeks. I drank half of it tje first day and the other half he next day, and that same week he arthritis hit the road and is only now creeping back. The goldenrod is blooming now amd I can't wait to tincture it again!
I've been working with herbs and wild "weeds" for four years now and goldenrod was my first tincture but then I left it be for a couple years looking for things to help with what has been going on for a while if you know what I mean and things for pain relief as well as nerve tonics. And now I hear you say it is good used topical for arthritis , I am surprised I didn't hear this sooner and have to give it a go. Thanks ladies!
How do you use it for arthritis?
Topically. So infused slightly dried in an oil for 6-8 weeks, strain and use. It's really good if you add tallow too as it drives it deeper into your skin. It's great.
CASTOR OIL ALSO GOES DEEP INTO THE DERMIS. AND NO ODOR IN GOOD GRADE. GET IN COLRED GLASS OR COLORED HARD PLASTIC.
My bees have been bringing in tons of Goldenrod pollen in the past week and a half! It's blooming everywhere here in middle Tennessee.
I feel like this year the fields look more right!!!
It's definitely a sea of yellow here and it's a beautiful sight.
Same in southern WV. Fields full of goldenrod and the bees are loooving it!
Love this and love you both! Such a beautiful video 💓
I am so happy to have found you both! I got very emotional watching this because as a child I was told by numerous doctors, and constantly by my mother, that I was highly allergic to ragweed. The fact that I've been lied to my whole life about everything else is upsetting enough, but now I'm seeing more things every day and this medicinal plant is one of them. I'm so happy to have found you both! Thank you so much for exposing this lie about this beautiful God given plant! I have now subscribed to your channel! God Bless you both!
Ragweed is a different plant than goldenrod.
Goldenrod is beautiful.. I saw a whole patch of it as I was walking yesterday..
Oh sure, your mom knew the truth but lied to you.
Ragweed often grows where Goldenrod does, and blooms at the same time. So people think they are allergic to goldenrod, but that's not possible because the pollen is heavy and drops, while ragweed pollen is lighter and floats in the air. Ragweed is a white-ish flower and looks quite different, but is not as visible, especially from a distance.

I love learning from you. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful. Thank you so much for this!
Thank You 💖 the Golden Rod is so beautiful to see 🎉 God Bless You 🙏😇💝
Awesome information 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
I was actually making a cup of goldenrod tea when I saw this video. Added in a Mullein leaf as well.
Thanks so much for this video! Looking forward to more from you! ❤️
I bet the tea tastes great with some honey too!
Loved your teaching
Goldenrod is a valuable plant for the Bee’s they store it up for the winter.
This is so refreshing, thanks for sharing, really inspiring.
You are very well organised, congratulations 💯👍
Lovely video, thank you for the information.
I have no freeze drier but I'm a homesteader and I knew there was some use for these beautiful plants !! Thank you for explaining it. I'm going to make golden rod tea ...to go with my BlackBerry leaf and nettle teas!!!
Comfrey mixed with Goldenrod will be Great together for your Salve
thanks for the video, and the information about the golden-rod have a great day.
New to your channel and learning so much. Thank you.🎉❤
I learned some new things this morning! Awesome video! Thank you!
Love watching all the things you do!
💛
I got a 50 gallon drum full of tops today that are pretty much completely developed with seeds. I live in Washington state Puyallup, Washington, and I only know a one small patch that I have access to. I’ve tried so hard to grow everything at my nursery I got something else today on my hunt I found myself a red currant tree, not a bush or a tree. I’ve never seen a red currant 25 foot tall 20 feet wide and I know it’s a red currant. I looked at it over and over and over again analyzing it is unheard of, I also acquired some pairs. I need some wild blackberries. I bought cookies from children that were selling them on the side of the road. I got two dozen eggs from a local chicken farmer then I got to go into his garden and talk to him about the plants that are growing inside his garden before he weeds them Letting him know what is what so he is not completely annihilating everything but then I taught him how to do it with just water. I invented the technique how to remove vegetation with water. I do not like the word weed unless you wanna start talking about smoking weed or something like that, it doesn’t have a purpose in my world as a form of a word to be used so easily it would be like saying some foul word because you can’t come up with the right pronunciation as soon as we can get that through peoples head vegetation removal, not weed removal then the first thing they won’t think of is a negative word Sometimes you have to remove vegetation so you could have other vegetation grow
So excited that you posted this!!! I have a lot of this out back! I too am in VA!
Love this video you and your mother really inspired me so I just went out and got me just enough for a cup of tea will be trying the other methods out this next week
So glad I found your channel!!
I so enjoy learning about herbs and natural care.
Thank you do much!!
Its so abundant here. I was going to research the uses. Thank you
Thank you for sharing I did not know all this information
No way! I just noticed that there are a whole bunch of these by the alley. I just thought they were beautiful so i picked a bunch to put in water on my windowsills
New sub. Great show. You are doing everything right. The look, the feel. You got it. Very educational. Thank you.
your family is adorable, thank you for sharing
Heartwarming. I have just now found your channel (just had our first hard frost) and am so grateful to have been lead here. I have a bunch of Goldenrod hanging to dry. Harvested in early September here on the Gaspe coast. Now I have inspiration! Thank you.
Me as well 🤗 I've just this day come up on This Program Y'all have and This Is What I've Been Hoping For - to Learn How To Utilize What Had Been Abundantly Provided For 😁 I'm So Pleased 🤗 Thank You For Sharing Sincerely Susan 🤗 and Blessings In Abundance To All

This is such a great video, thank you! I have known goldenrod wasn't bad for a while and have always enjoyed watching the pollinators and birds on it, but now I am watering it along with the other plants here and trying to encourage it even more. Thanks so much for the valuable info, love your channel, just discovered it recently.
Got a good harvest today picked from porch!
ohhhman. I am so jelly about freeze drying medicinal herbs.
Maybe someday.
Thanks for chatting about this darling today!
I put a giant ton of it in a huge jar and it is now steeping with honey > I have decided to preserve a lot of things in honey or in salt > both forever foods
Such an educational video thank you very much❤
