I was told the "yellow things" all around my new property are bad and give people allergies. You have no idea how excited I was to see this video and realize that those yellow things are actually an abundance of golden rod in my own back yard. Thank you!!
Sounds like you have an opportunity of teaching others the truth about these wonderful “weeds”. ❤ My mother in law swears she’s allergic to goldenrod. I’m thinking it may very well be the ragweed instead.
I have a field covered in Goldenrod. I fill a half gallon mason jar with fresh goldenrod and cover it up to the top of the jar with 80 proof vodka put a lid on it and set it in the pantry. Awesome tincture in 6 weeks.
What do you use the tincture for? I gathered 5 bundles and hung to dry. I'll crush the leaves for tea, but don't know what the tincture is used for. Many thanks for this video.
Have you ever thought about shipping the herbs. I’m in tn lol we don’t have a lot of stuff like that where I live lol on herb I’ve seen that I kno of is in the or online
You brought up a great memory when you mentioned you used goldenrod as part of a table arrangement. Before dinner, my grandma used to take us out into the wilderness and pick plants that we wanted on our dinner table. We would take them to the garage and spray paint them gold and silver and let them dry. Then she would arrange it all to be on display for all the dinner guests. Us grandchildren were so proud at dinner 🥰
This is the third video about goldenrod that I tried to watch, but couldn't. Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise. The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music detracts from the great work you are doing❤❤❤
Oh wow I am from KY, and I didn’t know that, just found a big field with thousands of this lovely plant growing, gonna be making a lot of tea and tincture😊
I make a tincture with Goldenrod but I also dry a lot of it for herbal infusions. Besides all the medicinal properties you are also getting a lot of nutrients that you wouldn’t ordinarily get in your diet. Free vitamins and minerals. 😊 And it tastes pretty good. ❤
New here... just to mention, you have a very soothing voice to listen to! You are a wealth of information that is presented so well. I've thoroughly enjoyed both your videos and podcast. Just starting my herbalism journey. Thank you.
Well when l first moved here to my house. I let all the plants go wild. My neighbor gave some information... she said “ those there are weeds pull them out...... well l did But luckily l had some places that it grew back and to my surprise........ it was golden rod ..... well l need to buy some jars and make tinctures. Thanks for sharing information.
Joan, you can guarantee that for any thing that is helpful or beneficial you will be instructed to "get rid of it", "you do not need it" or "it's just a weed". The society wants you to be dependent on them.
@@charlesclements4350 the person who told me : it is a weed take it out , she works as a medical assistant in a clinic. But lm so glad it will all grow back again and you know l will make my tinctures.
I took a young family man to a town close by to get help paying for his electric bill. He has three little girls and a son just over 1yo. On the way back I looked closer at a patch of yellow flowers; up close I realized they were goldenrod. This patch was atleast 30' by 60'. I cut enough to fill two jars with tops. I stripped the leaves from the short stems and saved a few tops; I have them in a mess nylon bag drying in my house. I gave the bugs enough time to escape before I poured the juice to the tops and leaves. That was a rewarding trip. I also collected the fluffy seed pods from the plants that were mature next to the pond in the same area. I will plant them some place else. I think I saw Yarrow earlier close to this place. I will check around in the Spring. MK
I made my golden rod tincture. Place it on the self in a dark area. I allowed it to sit longer than 6 weeks. The color is amazing and the liquid is so beneficial. Thanks for the info
I stared harvesting goldenrod. I see fields and fields of it. Hopefully, people harvest sustainably so there is medicine left for years to come for everyone, as Mama Gaia intended to take care of all her children. Thank you for sharing, liked and subscribed!
I love it. A list of things I've done with golden rod. Tea out of the flowers, tincture with the leaves, oxymel, makes a good drink, infused honey, I've made a vinager, oils, and saves. This herb is beautiful. Were I'm at it's just now starting to bloom it's also very invasive were I'm at. And here in a few weeks I plan on foraging at least enough to get my family though the winter and next summer.
Cool video, i have been foraging for years, I have never been aware of goldenrod. I recently found a field full of this lovely plant, hundreds of them. So I picked a big bunch and am making tea with the dried and tincture with the fresh. I know my body will thank me.
I’m SO EXCITED TO MAKE THIS TINCTURE. I was able to harvest a good bit of GOLDEN ROD on the homestead today. There were SO MANY BEES doing work on them that I decided to leave half for them and BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING THEM BLOOMING EVERYWHERE. They always show up right after the SPIDER LILLIES down here in 9A and they are always a sure sign for me that FALL IS NEAR. ☺️ THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS GREAT INFO FOR US NEWBIES THAT ARE SO INTERESTED IN MAKING THIS LIFE STYLE CHANGE. I have been working really hard to clean the man made chemicals out of my body for the last 3 years and IT HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME SO PLEASE KEEP SHINING LIGHTS and THANKS AGAIN 💡💡💡 I PRAY MANY BLESSINGS OVER YOUR HOMESTEAD 🙏🙏🙏💚🦋
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this video. It's two years later but this is my first year to harvest Goldenrod and I needed an all inclusive video on how to harvest, prepare and use it.
Greetings from New Zealand. Thank you so much for clarifying that tinctures should be kept in the dark and not on a window ledge in the sun. Im new to making potions and it just didnt seem right to put them in the sunlight. Im loving your content - thank you so much for sharing.
I would like to add that you shouldn't use it as a tea after dinner unless you don't mind getting up to go to the bathroom all night! Ask me how I know 😂 As a tea it is a wonderful lymphatic if you have swollen ankles. I also am making tinctures and salves Tinctures for colds and respiratory ailments, and salves for minor wounds and bites. I have heard it is good for bruises too. Thanks for making this information available. Its good stuff, Blessings to one and all 🥰
Thank you for your knowledge! Just found goldenrod today in my yard. I loaded one of the plant identification apps. I cut it all back and the transplanted the rootball to an area that won’t get mowed! I also put all the leaves I cut into my dehydrator. I’ll make a tensor in a day or 2. This will be my second herb in my personal apothecary. I found some comfrey last week and did the same. Looking forward to learning lots more from you!!!! 🙏🏼
I am so happy that we have golden rod on our new property. Looking forward to harvesting and using it to create medicinal remedies. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for covering this herb. Our dog seeks out Goldenrod specifically daily and eats the green leaves. We are now trying to find seeds to grow it in my garden for our dog and for beneficial insects. I will ask my vet if I can give our dog a tincture of Goldenrod in the winter and spring. I was curious if you know anything about edible plants absorbing chemicals from near by plants that are not edible that [ some] might have liver failure properties to them? I recently heard about Rooibos tea and a plant that grows often near the tea that causes liver failure. That the rooibos tea plant can and been shown to absorb the liver fail chemicals. It might be all false info but im very interested. I've stopped drinking my Rooibos tea bc of it. I heard ppl on youtube say that soe ppl were hospitalized for liver failure that thankfully cleared up over time of the ppl not consuming the tea grown next to the liver toxic
Hello Amy, I hope you are well. I have a question. Today I opened my GoldenRod tincture from last fall. Last September I filled it absolutely to the rim, using fresh plant material and 100% grain alcohol diluted with distilled water for a 1:1 ratio, to match a 100 proof alcohol, like a vodka. Nowhere is there any sign of mold, however I detect a slight vinegar, or fermented odor. I can't tell if it's just the Goldenrod, or if it fermented ever-so-slightly? What are your thougts, please? Maybe this is normal? Idk I'm so new at this. Thank you for the videos. You explain everything clearly and at a pace I can follow. Your Grandparent's farm looks dreamy. Kind regards, Lynn
I am just starting with making tinctures and learning to identify herbs on our land. I am so happy to find a small amount of Goldenrod in patches in our pastures. I've been watching different herbalists making tinctures. Some say don't use dried plant matter for tinctures. You talk about being able to use dried....why is there a little debate on this matter if you don't mind me asking. Thank you for putting out these videos. Hugs.
Some herbs (like lemon balm) are much more potent when tinctured fresh, just do a bit of research on the particular herb your going to extract from and see if the drying process lessens it's potency. You can also experiment with fresh vs dried and see what method works best for you. If all you have access to is dried herb that's fine, just use what you have 😊
Loved this video, Amy. I’ve learned so much from you, and appreciate your sharing your herbal wisdom. I have loved and grown herbs for decades, but you have taught me so much I didn’t know!❤️
Couldnt have seen this at a better time 😁 we have goldenrod growing on our property...I always pick it just fof the beauty as well. Happy to know you can tincture this! I will be getting some today and start that...can't wait!
I love your content! I just ordered your book. Oh- and I have your medicine woman and BECAUE I AM HIS t-shirts! ♥them! Question: I'm new to making my own tinctures- I was trying to do 1:5 with dry lemon balm, but the vodka doesn't cover all the herbs. If I add more vodka, then it changes the ratio. What do you suggest?
My dogs love this stuff so I am going to gather some and dry it to put in their food this winter. After seeing this video I'm going to gather some to make a tincture just in case I get that virus. THANKS
I just harvested Goldenrod at the end of September. Transferred to dropper glasses today. Interested to see if this helps my sons seasonal allergies!! Thank you for the video! I will report back☺️
I missed my time outdoors here in Okla. I started moving up here from West Texas, so I have been trying to catch up from all my expenses of travel of @485 miles one way and 10 to12 trips. I know goldenrod grows everywhere because I've seen it in fenced fields and up on hills. I plan to get out and shoot pictures and document locations of herbs I find. I do have several field books with colored pictures so I can just look for that color as I drive around. Thanks for the information videos MK
Thank You for sharing. Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Have you heard about turkey tail mushrooms or reshi. Good for attacking cancers. Also now they have evidence that psilocybin mushrooms in low doses are great for treating depression. Not only that but mushrooms are high in vitamins and minerals. The good news is that they’ve right out our home. I enjoy finding different types and learning their benefits., it’s like a Easter....egg hunt. Great video.!!!
Awesome video! I sell plants as a side hobby and goldenrod has been one of these. But this isn't a wild variety. Will this still be viable for tinctures? Love your videos!
Thank you so much, Amy! I have a field of goldenrod flowering now and more closer to the house that is in bud. You'd be welcome to come and gather all you want! I'm waiting for the ones close to the house to bloom before I collect mine because I don't want to battle chigger bites I'd surely get walking across that field of tall grass. My Vodka is waiting and so are the Boston Round amber bottles. Again, thanks for the valuable information.
Hi Amy, could you share with me which Herbal school that you received your education? I am seeking information on various schools and I was curious about your preference. Thank you so much! I enjoyed your video!
Hi Amy. I just brought a plant (Super Goldenrod ) from Blue Grass nursery to plant in my garden. I was wondering if this is the someone that you are talking about ? Thanks
When you make a tincture of the golden rod - how do you use it? Do you take a Tbsp twice a day? I didn't hear you speak about the amount to take. I'm wanting to take it for respiratory/allergy concerns.
Put the tincture in an eye dropper bottle, if it were me I’d take 2-3 drops to start. If needed I’d do 3 x a day. I’d take more drops, 5-10, when I know how I react. ♥️🌱
Hello Amy, beautiful video thank so much. Hope your family are well much love, as usual you have me off looking for this one hope I can find this in Spain
Little late to the game but I just made my dried 1:5 tincure and it seems super dry. The flowers really poofed up while drying. Do I need more alcohol or will it be fine? I shook it as much as possible.
Wonderful video! Love your presentation and love goldenrod. Made my first tincture and am waiting for it to stew. Do you have recommendation for how to use the tincture?
My Question is (new to this) do your rinse the goldenrod first, I picked some and its has a lot of bugs on them I don't want that in my tincture so how you wash, every video I've watch shows nothing on how to wash it first
I uh g some in my kitchen last year and you can smell that golden rod its strong smelling at times oh we have Canadian then all over our property I need to pick some so you can make a salve I'm sure
When is goldenrod past its' prime for harvesting? I dried some and left it hanging for about a month and some of the flowers look puffy, almost like dandelion. Is it still useful medicinally? I'm wondering if I foraged to late.
I made a goldenrod tincture in the same manner I did my mullein and lemongrass and wild lettuce. The goldenrod smells not very good and really strong. Is that normal. My husband couldn't use it. I also made a salve out of it and it is wonderful. Does goldenrod tincture normally smell really strong?
@@TheFewellHomestead ok thank you, maybe it's normal then. My husband said it tasted awful and it smells strong whereas the mullein tincture smells and taste good according to my husband.
I was told the "yellow things" all around my new property are bad and give people allergies. You have no idea how excited I was to see this video and realize that those yellow things are actually an abundance of golden rod in my own back yard. Thank you!!

yes ❤
I have a field covered in Goldenrod. I fill a half gallon mason jar with fresh goldenrod and cover it up to the top of the jar with 80 proof vodka put a lid on it and set it in the pantry. Awesome tincture in 6 weeks.
Do you strain the liquid off and throw away the flowers then
@@the60s87 yes. I compost the flowers.
What do you use the tincture for? I gathered 5 bundles and hung to dry. I'll crush the leaves for tea, but don't know what the tincture is used for. Many thanks for this video.
Have you ever thought about shipping the herbs. I’m in tn lol we don’t have a lot of stuff like that where I live lol on herb I’ve seen that I kno of is in the or online
I found 190 proof in liquor stor. Almost close to moonshine. Longer the better in liquor. Its called grain free
You have a beautiful voice and calming demeanor.
I was thinking the exact same thing ☀️
I agree.... ASMR quality

Oh wow I am from KY, and I didn’t know that, just found a big field with thousands of this lovely plant growing, gonna be making a lot of tea and tincture😊
Golden rod is such a happy cheery plant!
Yes her voice was very relaxing and calming to me aswell
As a herbalist this is one of my favorite to suggest since no one really knows about it.

Besides all the medicinal properties you are also getting a lot of nutrients that you wouldn’t ordinarily get in your diet. Free vitamins and minerals. 😊 And it tastes pretty good. ❤
Do you make a tea with it ? And do you use the flowers and leaves ?

I do, but I would call it more an infusion, with a longer steeping time.
About twenty minutes.

Can I make my tincture using fresh goldenrod or should I dry it out first? Also on average how long does it take to dry? Thank you!!
Little late to the game but I just made my dried 1:5 tincure and it seems super dry. The flowers really poofed up while drying. Do I need more alcohol or will it be fine? I shook it as much as possible.
Wonderful video! Love your presentation and love goldenrod. Made my first tincture and am waiting for it to stew. Do you have recommendation for how to use the tincture?
I take 30 drops as needed but another person said take a dropper full every 2 weeks for maintenance and a half a teaspoon twice a day for illness
My Question is (new to this) do your rinse the goldenrod first, I picked some and its has a lot of bugs on them I don't want that in my tincture so how you wash, every video I've watch shows nothing on how to wash it first
You don’t need to rinse it first. Just dry it and use it.
I uh g some in my kitchen last year and you can smell that golden rod its strong smelling at times oh we have Canadian then all over our property I need to pick some so you can make a salve I'm sure
Oh I have golden rod every where but wasn't sure yet how to use it
When is goldenrod past its' prime for harvesting? I dried some and left it hanging for about a month and some of the flowers look puffy, almost like dandelion. Is it still useful medicinally? I'm wondering if I foraged to late.
Counties also spray heavy herbicides along roadways. “Sterilent “
I wonder if there's such a thing as organic vodka. Thank you for the wonderful video.

Thank you... 🍂🌷
Besides alcohol for tincture to digest, what else can be used when treatment is needed for someone who is an alcoholic... can't drink?
Is it good for ulcers?
I made a goldenrod tincture in the same manner I did my mullein and lemongrass and wild lettuce. The goldenrod smells not very good and really strong. Is that normal. My husband couldn't use it. I also made a salve out of it and it is wonderful. Does goldenrod tincture normally smell really strong?
It does have a very strong pine like smell.
@@TheFewellHomestead ok thank you, maybe it's normal then. My husband said it tasted awful and it smells strong whereas the mullein tincture smells and taste good according to my husband.
What are its energetics ? From listening to the information you gave it sounds like it could be warming and drying??
I’ve taken it, and it’s definitely drying, great for my seasonal allergies.
What herb is good for that makes you go regular to bathroom? Like deification?
Question, how much of the tinture should be taken at a given time?
I was just wondering the same thing! Did she answer you?
Diane Peterson, no she didn't...
A dropper full is a normal dose
Stephanie Cox, thank you
Stephanie Cox would you also know how often?
