I LOVE this glorious plant and so do my honey bees :) Goldenrod has such a sunny dispostion that I use it for the winter blues as well. It cheers me up. I made a GR elixer, with half vodka and half honey. It's due time I strain it considering I made it in Sept.!

If I had to guess about how topical actios are working, I'd say the oils are acting as a counterirritant in a manner similar to arnica; calling the blood and vital energy to the area where applied, and this has a dispersive effect on cogested blood/chi/vital energy.<BR/><BR/>This'd be consistant with the correlation to chinese herbs known as "blood movers" and antispasmodic activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046630290208953877.post-13012423782392221592007-02-22T17:50:00.000-07:002007-02-22T17:50:00.000-07:00Thanks Rebecca!I'm really interested in hearing ho...Thanks Rebecca!<BR/><BR/>I'm really interested in hearing how it works for others, especially the tincture as I haven't worked with that much yet for muscular purposes.<BR/><BR/>I've used the oil alot for that same computer related neck and shoulder tension.Oakmoss Changelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859460712415875912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046630290208953877.post-41967778567940430432007-02-22T16:40:00.000-07:002007-02-22T16:40:00.000-07:00Thanks for this, Kiva!I've been using some goldenr...Thanks for this, Kiva!<BR/><BR/>I've been using some goldenrod tincture I made last summer with great results -- especially on computer-related neck and shoulder tension.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640458031651316635noreply@blogger.com
