I am slowly I will admit waking up to just some of the abundance around me and it seems to me that every plant has it's own story to tell and you help keep my enthusiasm alive !

I think Goldenrod was the one that finally made me think ok that's it, God has surrounded us with medicine and food, it's everywhere and we struggle to weed it out and plant other food 😆 Thanks for another great video, when there is a wild plant I want to know about and I see your video I know it will be filled with what I want to know and then some.

Watching more Goldenrod videos while I sip some tea made with some leaves I foraged just yesterday. Love your video. So much more information that I’ve learned for it’s edibility. Can’t wait to try some of these. Thanks so much.

Excellent video, Karen, and excellent information. I had never before thought of or heard of this plant's edibility!

We have this everywhere here! Ma Gran used to call it the Suns Kisser! I've only ever had it in tea but you've sparked my imagination with it! You have such essential knowledge which is not common in society! Aint you magic! Cheers 👍

Amazing .. truly! Flowers just blow my mind! And to think our ancestors knew these things and were made to forget the sacredness of Nature! 👀 .. thank you for sharing this beautiful knowledge! 💙💭

THANK YOU for providing such valuable information on the beautiful plant that grows on our property. Recently I read that Goldenrod is helpful at preventing kidney stones of which I passed one of those little devils this past Spring. So, in addition to eating a low oxalate vegan diet, I am searching for anything that prevents kidney stones other than consuming animal-based calcium sources.

I have this in my yard. It brings lots of bees! I love it!

Who knew. I am glad I know now, and will make good use of the abundant resource around everywhere. 😊❤

Very interesting thank you. These grow wild all around our house. I had no idea what they were.

I have two dogs who go with me on walks in the woods, and they both LOVE grazing small goldenrod plants.

Best video on plants I've ever seen. Showing the plants, as the star of the show. Great job.

Wow! So many good ideas! Now I know what to do with this giant bag of leaves. Subscribed!

just the video I was looking for..thanks

I really found your video very informative and enjoyable. I was trying to identify some leafs on some plants that have taken over my front garden area. So now I know to pull them out before they get 6 feet tall and take over all of it. I am hoping the bea bombs and rabeccas will come back then.

Luv natural back to basics 😍

Goldenrod is really do miracle ,the ichy skin i had for years from alergy to the chlorin in swiming pool has gone after drinking goldenrod tea

We have this!! I had no idea!!

This was amazing!🌞

Hey leave Canada we need good people like you in the usa

Recent studies on monarch butterfly. They love Golden Rod

Thank you 🕊🌱🕊

As a teenager with very high allergy symptoms, I had the scratch test. My eyes were very red and itchy and so was my nose. I was told that I was allergic to rag weed. I thought that it was the same as the golden rod. Thank you for clarifying.

Lovely video 💚

This was awesome

Thank you.

God gave us the remedies, we just need to find them. It's sad that the medical professional have not been trained in these ............. But rather the man made ones that have so many side effects with them.

Thank you

YOU NO THE IF YOU ASK A PISISIN ABOUT THIS THEY'RE GOIN TOO SED NO WAY. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TOO HILL 😢 THANK YOU FOR TIME ❤

Great knowledge your passing on! Always,farmer john

I'm in Ottawa Ontario and I love foraging. So much is growing all around. Free food and free medicine! Sirach 38:4 "GOD created medicines from the earth, and a sensible person will not hesitate to use them."

I get the need for the disclaimers of consulting a doctor, yet most have little knowledge of medicinal plants. Combined with the fact they make no money on it, they seldom will recommend anything that cuts into the bottom line. Case in point; the recent virus and the stiffling of cheap effective therapeutic treatments. I have little faith in corporate medicine, and for good reason. Bottom line; do your own research and choose your doctor very very carefully!!

Nature often leaves the antidote species near the trouble makers. Recent studies on monarch butterfly. They love Golden Rod.

Bought some property that has a bunch of this near the road. Was going to harvest the yeast and it use for bread starter. Very informative video!

Cool, didn’t know. Monarch butterflies like it too…

this is the most best video ever..i have a patch of goldenrod and onky the bees use it so far i brought some flowers inside in a vase and now i see there is so mich more to do with it

Thank you for this informative video of an abundant visible plant every late summer. I heard on a recorded speech that U of Montreal did a study of goldenrod & found it safer & more effective for men than Viagra. Not that I need it, just sayin. You've taught me what I can use it for.

You can also dry the flowers, spray paint em green, and use em as trees for model railroads lol

Thank you for your vdo.I was harvest golden rod and want to know how I can keep longer time so I desire to freeze them your vdo help me to use more as food.

Making dry g r now. Thanks friend cheers Ricky 💃🕺💃🕺🎵🐈‍⬛🎵🎸

Very informative. Does anyone know if a kidney transplant patient can drink (consume )Goldenrod?

Hey, another fellow Ontarian 👍

If we continue to give the power and permission to heal ourselves over to a corrupt industrial medical complex we will stay sick physically and mentally.

Do you wash the leaves, flower before drying them just like you said ragweed is wind driven and gets on it. Should they be soak in salt water like most other vegtables are done to get the bugs off of them?

Your link to the goldenrod vinegar takes you to your oil recipe.

I have a dehydrator and would like to dry it for tea .Do you have a video on that so i can learn please . Also it may be worth mentioning to make sure you dont collect any from areas where things may have been sprayed or gotten road run offs , just to make sure its safe and clean . Correct ? Thanks for your help 😊

I cannot find your links that you mentioned in this video and I am very interested to learn from them. I also live in Ontario, northern Kawartha Lakes area. 😀

I'm thinking of making a salve with Goldenrod and Olive oil, how much Goldenrod would I need? And is this plant good for wounds?

What information do have about goldenrod and palatability for farm amimals? I cut and field dried and baled a 20 acre field of predominate goldenrod and my sheep didn't care to eat any of the stems, leaves or flowers.

I just nibbled on about three little teeny leaves near the flowers and they had a really bad flavor, is that normal for goldenrod? Because if it is it's not very edible as far as flavor goes. I just ingested a small amount to see if my body can take it. If I have any problems I won't be doing that again LOL. I picked a whole bunch of it today all the flour heads that were open and starting to open because I wanted to make some tinctures etc or I may just take the flowers that I picked and scatter them up and down the ditch in front of the property so that they can start growing out there so I don't have to look for them later I can grow them where I need them. I have asthma and arthritis really bad. I also get swollen feet and I have urinary issues in that eye almost need to wear a absorbent pad. So I'm hoping it can help with that. Cuz I really don't want to have to wear a sanitary napkin or a diaper later if I can take goldenrod and maybe alleviate that problem that's one thing less I got to worry about. I am very interested in the oil to make a muscle rub so I'm going to check that video out now.

Can you use the leaves and stems in the spring or do you have to wait for it to mature and flower before you get the benefits??

can you take fresh flowers and leaves and boil them and make tea and get the benefits from the tea? or will the heat kill off all the beneficial chemicals?

So the roots are what promote gut health? Or the stem? You’re the first person that told me about the roots so I havnt harvested any yet😢

I'm surrounded on all sides with this stuff but I am not completely sure if it is golden rod, looks like it except the flowers are slightly larger than in the video. It might just be the time of year.

No video here but audio works! Probably blocked because it’s good info?

QUESTION!! I HAVE TONS ON OUR FARM IN FERRUM VA. HOW CAN I GIVE OR SELL YO BE USED? THX AND GOD BLESS!

can i use just the leaves and roots to make the oil?

It gives me fall allergies, ill try the tea to build antibodies against it

Logic tells me that if ragweed blows every ware it would also be on the goldenrod plants also. They are growing together after all. Right?

What part of Golden Rod do you use. The flower or the plant?

What kind of health professional do I need to seek ? I would like to drink tea, and to alleviate muscle soreness

something else I've walked by #'s times & never realized I could eat it. :(

How do i share since there is no share option?

Are all variety safe for us?

I read that the leaves have more vitamin C than green tea. Have you ever encountered this information?

I wonder if we have any native in my tropical country.

Where in Ontario are you? IM looking for mushroom hunting buddies :-)

It’s the only weed that my dog keeps eating the leaves,I think he knew something that I didn’t !

Making a tincture now.

Unfortunately I'm allergic to both goldenrod and ragweed.

Goldenrod is edible, while golden boy not necessarily

Goldenrod is not related to ragweed. If you have allergies to ragweed, you won't also have allergies to goldenrod.

If I had my way I’d Roundup every one of ‘em. They’ve had my sinuses torn up for the last 3 weeks.
