Everywhere I look this year, there are beautifull stalks of goldenrod growing. I gathered some today and covered with 80 proof vodka for tincturing. Good for kindey/urinary problems, cough, runny nose, bruises, sores, cuts, burns, muscle spasms, sore joints.....and good for the winter blahs.


Am I in my cabin dreaming? Or are you really scheming, to take my ship away from me? You better think about it. I just cant live without it. So please dont take my ship from me!!!

thats interesting, there is a lot of goldenrod around here too, the bees was all over it, i didnt realize it had any meicinal value, i know burdock is used in some medications and is a marketable root, blood root i saw mentioned somewhere is also a medicinal margetable plant root. they also look for ginseng around these parts too, i found a few years back out squirll hunting,


Never enough time to do things right but theres allways time to do it over...
If it aint broke dont fix it !!!
We dont plan to fail, instead, we fail to plan.
You can either wait in the sittin room, or sit in the waitin room.
There is no blood in my viens, its, its, its, its chlorophyl.
My thumb aint allways green !!!!!!!!!!!!!.
My thumb, my thumb, its turning green.

I don't know about the goldenrod, but the vodka in my home made tomatoe juice does wonders for me!
