Goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea) is a recognized herb in European phytotherapy for the urinary tract. It combines diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties.
How goldenrod works
Goldenrod promotes urine output, is antispasmodic and mildly anti-inflammatory. It is traditionally used for flushing in urinary irritation and to prevent kidney gravel.
How to use it
- As a tea or standardized tincture
- In flushing-therapy cures
- Combine with plenty of water
Caution & when to see a doctor
As with any flushing therapy: do not use with edema from heart or kidney insufficiency. With fever, blood in the urine or severe pain, medical assessment is needed – goldenrod does not replace treatment of a bacterial infection.
