Goldenrod Tea

Goldenrod has 7x the antioxidant levels of green tea. It is rich in the antioxidant compound known as rutin, whose benefits include strengthening blood vessels, promoting healthy circulation and preventing blood clots, making it especially beneficial to the cardiovascular system as a whole. Goldenrod may be best known for its ability to soothe and tone the urinary tract and reduce the discomfort and swelling associated with urinary tract infections (UTI’s). As an astringent herb and a strong decongestant, Goldenrod can help to dry up congestion caused by colds, flu, allergies and sinus problems. It contains a flavonoid called quercetin which acts as an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. As a mild diaphoretic, Goldenrod helps to open up the pores and release heat through the skin, therefore supporting the reduction of a fever. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties make this herb extremely soothing for sore throats and laryngitis. Bergamot induces perspiration, lowers fevers, and through its carminative action, aids digestion. It has been used for colds, fevers, headaches. Add 1-2 tablespoons per tea pot or 1 teaspoon per cup – add boiling water and steep 5 - 10 minutes. Use 7 days (1-3 cups a day) only and resume 1 week later. May dry leaves and use for another pot of tea. **Not recommended for pregnant or breast feeding women or children.
