A fantastic combination of wild blackberries and goldenrod, both foraged & coming to you straight from the North Woods of Minnesota.
Goldenrod has been used for centuries in ethnomedicine by many cultures. Goldenrod is well known for its ability to treat urinary tract disorders, and its efficacy as a UTI herb. It’s also used in Germany as an agent to increase urine as a treatment for kidney and bladder inflammation.
Goldenrod has also been used to both treat and protect the kidneys & liver in diabetics.
Unbelievably (yet not surprising) goldenrod isn’t used much by medical professionals in North America. It is, however, widely used by herbalists and aboriginal peoples.
As an example, Iroquois people prepare an infusion of goldenrod flowers (specifically Canadian goldenrod) as a gastrointestinal and liver aid (Moerman, 1998). And it works as a powerful respiratory herb among many cultures.
Some of the medicinal uses of goldenrod are as an expectorant (removes excess mucus from the respiratory tract), anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, astringent, carminative (relieves flatulence), diaphoretic (causes perspiration), diuretic, and vulnerary (heals wounds).
Goldenrod is exceptional at alleviating upper respiratory congestion stemming from allergies, sinusitis, flu, or the common cold. What a lovely thing that a respiratory herb can be so readily available to forage!
And then we bring blackberries into the mix as well. A delicious and awesome antioxidant. They are full of vitamin C so they can help boost immune systems. They also have some anti-inflammatory properties, although as a stand alone remedy for pain these fall on the weaker end of the spectrum.
Keep in mind that I am NOT a doctor & the tincture is not meant to be a cure all. I have however been studying ethnomedicine for over 20 years and also worked in pharmacy settings for over 15 years.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
