Goldenrod

The goldenrod is a yellow flowering plant in the Family Asteraceae.Goldenrod is also used as a food plant by the larvae of various Lepidoptera species.
The goldenrod genus name goes from the Latin word that means, "to make whole or heal," referring to its value to folk medicine from some species. A root tea made from showy goldenrod has been used to heal burns.
Native Americans made tea out of goldenrod for sore throat and fatigue, and some Europeans use goldenrod for urinary tract infections and to flush the kidneys.most being found in the meadows and pastures, along roads, ditches and waste areas in North America. Goldenrod pollen is too heavy and sticky to be blown far from the flowers, and is thus mainly pollinated by insects.Frequent handling of goldenrod and other flowers, however, can cause allergic reactions, leading some florists to change occupation.[2]
