Interesting. Many websites claim the tea is good for kidney stones or inflammations.
Even this one http://www.mdidea.com/products/new/new044paper.html but it says at the end:
Pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as people with impaired heart or kidney function should not take goldenrod.

Thank you for this information, it just confirms how
careful we have to be. It is great that I can put
my questions here! Thanks again.

I lived in an area that goldenrod grew profuslrey (sp?) I was highly allergic to it.  I couldn't breath. I feel that anything that made me that sick, couldn't be that couldn't be that good for anyone. I know that it's allergies, and that not everyone is alergic. But, if it were really were good for anything, it would be on every grocery and drugstore shelf.

Thomas Alva Edison was able to make rubber from the Goldenrod plant.

I grew up in South Florida, and Maleluca was the most vile and widely-hated plant in the area.  Horrible smell, horrible allergen, horrible pest in the Everglades....and yet "tea tree oil" is all the rage.

Go figure.    :P
