Goldenrod
The leaves and flowers of Goldenrod are used for its medicinal properties. Goldenrod usually grows wild in the summer and can be harvested closer to fall. This amazing “weed” has such amazing medicinal properties. One of the ones I am liking the best is that it helps with allergens, specifically when there is an allergic reaction to cats. This herb also helps to heal yeast infections that can cause thrush, as well as the yeast infections that can be caused by the allergic reaction to cats. Let's dive in and see what else this can be used for and how we would use it.

How to grow
In my area 6b Goldenrod grows everywhere and is a plant that has always grown here. So I don’t have to plant it. I just need to go out to my back yard or across the street to harvest it.
Beware, though it does not attract pests normally, it does now. So, when I harvest this, I see a ton of those little midget gnats. Just clean it up outside and try to get rid of as many as you can. Then immediately put it in the dehydrator, freeze dryer, or alcohol for tinctures. If you are going to naturally dry it I recommend wrapping it in a paper bag, so those little buggers do not overtake your house.
You can purchase this seed online, and it is truly simple
In Early Spring or Fall, place the seeds on the ground, or you can even toss them. Do not cover the seeds, they need sunlight to germinate, then water a little, and that is it. Do not fertilize them or you may see less flowers when they go to bloom. (I would suggest pots, or somewhere you can maintain some form of control as they are pretty aggressive.
