Description

Solidago virguarea, also known as Golden Rod, is a herbaceous plant found in temperate countries, often in the natural flora of grassy mountainous areas. The name Solidago means ‘to make whole’. In 15th and 16th Century Europe it was used topically for wound healing but in modern times the main use of Solidago is to help maintain the health of the urinary tract. As well as being part of this tincture Solidago can also be found in our Golden Rod Herbal Tea.

The Birch tree (Betula pendula) is known as ‘The Tree of Life’. It grows well in temperate and Nordic climates. Its leaves have been used in herbal supplement combinations to aid detox by supporting the body’s natural elimination of toxins and impurities. One of the lesser ingredients in this combination is Restharrow (Ononis spinosa). It is commonly found in almost all parts of Europe, West Africa, and Asia and has been used traditionally to support bladder health. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is another minor but important ingredient in the Solidago complex. The plant is said to resemble a horse’s tail and it grows almost everywhere. Although poisonous to grazing animals when eaten in large quantities it has been used by people from as long ago as the Ancient Romans in the form of tea.
