Description:
Solidago is the Latin name for the beautiful Golden Rod that graces many gardens with its fine summer display of golden-yellow flowers. It has been approved by the German Commission E for the treatment of bladder and urinary system inflammations. Its beneficial actions include increasing blood flow to the kidneys and promoting urination, without ridding the body of valuable minerals as allopathic diuretics do. It is anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic and therefore calms and strengthens inflamed, painful kidneys. It will be especially appropriate where there has been a history of mild kidney infections and kidney stones or gravel. It is thought to help flush out small stones and gravel by reducing the amount of calcium that builds up in the kidneys.
