Synopsis

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

Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, primarily among Indigenous peoples of North America and later adopted by European settlers. It was traditionally used for a variety of ailments, including urinary tract issues, wound healing, and as a general anti-inflammatory or antiseptic herb. In the context of "blood poisoning"—an older term often referring to sepsis or systemic infection—goldenrod was sometimes included in herbal remedies aimed at "purifying the blood" or supporting the body during infections. However, there is no robust scientific evidence to support its effectiveness specifically for treating blood poisoning or sepsis. Modern pharmacological research on goldenrod has focused on its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, but these studies have not directly addressed blood poisoning or systemic infections. Therefore, its use for this purpose is justified primarily by traditional practices rather than scientific validation, and the overall evidence supporting its use for blood poisoning is weak.
