Goldenrod in latin is Solidago which means “to make whole”. Goldenrod is abundant and found throughout North America and Europe. From open mountain meadows, roadsides, fields, open woods, along trailsides and waysides.
Energetically it is warm, dry, and aromatic with a taste profile of bitter, pungent, and astringent.
It helps to support the upper respiratory tract and sinuses, urinary, digestive, and muscle skeletal systems.
A wonderful ally to have on hand during allergy season.
Matthew Wood compares goldenrod to “the tarot card showing a man walking along a road with a heavy burden on his back, a walking staff in his hand. His head is bent down, so that he does not see a church spire rising in the distance which shows that the distance is within his reach. The message of Goldenrod is to endure to reach the goal” .
Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
