Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Goldenrod (genus Solidago) has been used traditionally in herbal medicine to support various aspects of urinary and digestive health, including the gall bladder. Historical texts and folk medicine practices, particularly in Europe, have cited goldenrod as a remedy for "sluggish" digestion and to promote bile flow. However, these uses are largely based on empirical tradition rather than rigorous scientific research. There is some evidence supporting goldenrod’s anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, but its direct impact on gall bladder function—either when sluggish or after removal—has not been substantiated in clinical trials. The supporting evidence for using goldenrod specifically for gall bladder-related issues remains weak and is primarily anecdotal or based on traditional herbalist indications. Most clinical studies on goldenrod focus on urinary tract health rather than hepatobiliary (liver and gall bladder) function. Therefore, while goldenrod continues to be included in some traditional formulas for digestive and gall bladder support, there is a lack of robust scientific data to validate its efficacy for these specific uses.
