Sep. 20th, 2014 10:57 pmA while back I talked about the "weeds" that grow outside my bedroom windows; well I got off my butt and managed to ID a few of them, the main one being Goldenrod.
It turns out that goldenrod has several medicinal properties so I decided to harvest some.
Use: One or two large handfuls of crushed leaves and flowers, steeped in a quart of boiling water for thirty minutes makes a tea that can be used hot, with honey, to counter allergies (especially pollen allergies), fevers, sore throats, coughs, colds and the flu; or taken cold to relieve colic in babies, and gas in adults.
