Synopsis

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

Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) has been traditionally used in various forms of folk medicine, including as a remedy for oral and throat conditions such as canker sores (aphthous ulcers). Its traditional use is largely based on its purported anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and astringent properties, which are believed to help soothe mucous membranes and reduce discomfort associated with oral lesions. Historical herbal texts mention goldenrod as an ingredient in mouthwashes or rinses for minor oral irritations.

However, scientific validation for the use of Canadian Goldenrod specifically for canker sores is extremely limited. While laboratory studies have shown that extracts of goldenrod possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, there is a lack of clinical trials or direct evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating canker sores in humans. Most references to its use are anecdotal or based on traditional herbal practice rather than rigorous scientific research. Therefore, while its use is justified by tradition, the quality of evidence supporting its effectiveness for this specific condition is rated as low (1/5).
