\"\"<\/a>I woke up the other morning with thick, watery, itchy eyes, a lump in my throat and a heavy feeling. I had one of those WOW moments. These were obviously allergies symptoms, which have thankfully become strangers to my body. Although, I could remember when we were close roommates for years, they have become just a memory since I met\u00a0Goldenrod (Solidago<\/em>, spp.)<\/a> who turned my life around. I have not felt this way in such a long time.<\/p>\n

There was a time when I couldn\u2019t get a handle on my allergy symptoms; I was a mess.\u00a0 I took and tried everything, I used the\u00a0neti pot,<\/a>\u00a0took Claritin, Nasacort, Allegena (homeopathic tincture for pollen allergies) and Benadryl (I\u2019m one of those weird people that Benadryl actually keeps up), all at once.\u00a0 Nothing seemed to give me relief; my symptoms were barely under control. I walked around in a fog, barely functioning. It seemed like I was allergic to everything that emerged from spring through autumn.<\/p>\n

I tried\u00a0Goldenrod<\/a>\u00a0tincture along with a boatload of synthetic allergy medicines, but it did nothing. Nevertheless, one day, something told me to take\u00a0Goldenrod<\/a>\u00a0without anything else and it made such a huge difference. Always go with your instincts folks. \u00a0I felt human again and have been that way ever since. That was almost a decade ago. At first, I was taking Goldenrod tincture several times a day to ameliorate my allergy symptoms, but over the years I\u2019ve been able to titrate down. I believe using the least amount necessary is always best. There is no reason to take more than you need. This year, I have barely taken it at all, perhaps a couple times a month, if that. Some people ask me if Goldenrod cures allergies, I still do not have a clear answer, but it certainly strengthens the body so it can deal with them better.<\/p>\n

Of course, I went into my apothecary, took some Goldenrod, and felt human again. It works best with symptoms of red, inflamed eyes, postnasal drip, allergy induced nose running, sinus headaches, general congestion in sinus and upper respiratory and asthma. It is important to keep in mind that Goldenrod works in concert with the body\u2019s natural immune system. Most synthetic allergy medicine alters our immune responses, so Goldenrod becomes ineffective when taking with synthetic allergy medicine.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So how does Goldenrod work?<\/strong><\/p>\n
