History

Goldenrod is an aquaretic, increasing renal blood flow and increasing glomerular filtration rate without stimulating the loss of electrolytes such as sodium and chloride. Aquaretics are considered safer than many synthetic diuretics that promote the loss of electrolytes. Goldenrod has been studied for its effects on diuresis and electrolyte balance, and its strong anti-inflammatory activity.

European Goldenrod is a perennial plant native to northern Europe that has become established on every continent. Other varieties are native to North America and north Africa, but have less pharmacological activity than Solidago virgaurea.
