The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Herbal Medicine for Preppers: Goldenrod

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey y'all, welcome this week's show. This is a good topic for this time of year. We're going to talk about Golden Rod. Now, if you are like most people, you are probably suffering from very bad fall allergies right now, and you're probably blaming Golden Rod. Well, you're actually not right. Most people, very, very, very few people actually have an allergy to ragweed. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:00:27 Very few people actually have an allergy to. to golden rod however most people do have an allergy to ragweed the problem is golden rod is fairly large showy wildflower and your allergies are going crazy and you look out there and you say oh it must be the golden rod it's not it's the ragweed the little plant hiding behind the golden rod in fact if you look at anywhere where golden rod blooms just underneath it there's probably ragweed and ragweed is like I said very allergic to most people now I have done a whole show on ragweed you might want to check that one out I did a whole show on allergies

Starting point is 00:01:09 ragweed leaves before it goes into flower can actually be taken to combat the allergies caused by ragweed the plant and this is both the common ragweed the smaller version, Artemisia folia. Let me think. What is the technical name, the Latin name for ragweed? Ambrosia artemisia folia. And that means it has a leaf that looks like wormwood. The larger version is Artemisia trifolia, or trifolata, actually. And it means it has a three-parted leaf. And it grows big. It grows into a big bush. They both give people the same awful allergies. So really important to identify both types of ragweed, find the one that grows in your area, and harvest it when it comes in in the spring and summer. Make a tincture of it, make a

Starting point is 00:02:04 tea of it, have a little daily. It will reduce mast cells. Mass cells are the receptors for histamine, which your body produces in reaction to an allergen. Now, Goldenrod, like I said, most people are not allergic to Goldenrod. Goldenrod is actually a very pretty wildflower. is hated because people think they're allergic to it it's you know it's what covers our fields and pastures and the edges of woods and the sides of the road with beautiful yellow golden flowers this time of year it's it's you know really nice and it's actually really good golden rot can also help with allergies it's in some ways somewhat of a remedy to the ragweed growing right beside it well it does not reduce histamins

Starting point is 00:02:52 Golden Rod, however, is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic and is very useful for colds and flus, bacterial infections. It's a member of the Astor family, the Astoratiae. You'll notice a lot of the Astor's are in flower right now, and it's really one of the most useful Asters. History of use really comes from the Americas, but it was known in Europe. known by the British herbalist at least by the 1500s. Gerard wrote that it was good for wounds and to help stop bleeding, and that's another really important use of golden rod. It has an estringency to it.

Starting point is 00:03:36 It can be used for, well, it can be used somewhat as a stiptic to stop bleeding topically, but it's particularly good for any time of internal bleeding, including excessive menstrual bleeding, but also very good for diarrhea. And the two things that you prioritize in first aid should be stopping bleeding and stopping diarrhea because both of those will kill you a whole lot faster than being exposed to the weather, cold temperatures, lack of water, lack of food. I mean, people always, they have their main points of survival first aid,

Starting point is 00:04:17 and they always talk about, well, let's just say survival in general. People always prioritize shelter, fire, water, food. First aid should always be your first priority. I never go anywhere without a small first aid kit. I actually have, you know, what they call a, what is a money belt or something? It's a belt with a hidden compartment. You know, there's a little zipper on the inside and you can stick dollar bills in there. you can't put much in there that's very large you can get a larger one and there are some really good survival belts i think

Starting point is 00:04:53 oh what is that company viking or i'm gonna have to look check that out again at some point there's a company that makes a lot of survival gear like the little firestarers you can wear as a necklace bracelets that have a little ferro rod and a compass and such as that they make a lot of really cool stuff they're the ones to make those survival cards you've probably seen these these little metal cards you can stick in your wallet and you can pop the pieces out and they're like fishing hooks or needles or you know anything you might need right hmm your that name of that company will not come to me and we'll shoot I'll have to look it up and if they'd like to sponsor me they're welcome to because they're

Starting point is 00:05:34 really good I probably ought to put a plug in there for them at some point because whether they sponsor me or not they make some really good products and some really creative products but Anyway, if you do know the name of the company, shoot me an email, Jutson at judsoncaryl.com, or Southern Appalachian Herbs at gmail.com. I have several of their products, and I'm just blanking out on their name. A very good company, very creative company. They make a big, like, belt with a hidden compartment.

Starting point is 00:06:07 It's like a big, like military-style canvas belt, but it's in two parts, and it opens from the top. I think it's maybe even has a Velcro strip. And you can put in their fish hooks and lines and some bank line and, you know, some matches wrapped in plastic and tape to keep them dry if you want to do that, if that's your thing. You can put in there, gosh, so many things. But even in my little just standard leather belt with a zipper on the inside, I keep alcohol wipes, water purification tablets, band-aids, butterfly type. band-aids some duct tape you know duct tape can be used to seal a wound and prevent bleeding various things I can't remember everything that's in my belt first aid kit I carry a second larger first aid kit in my wallet I have a rather large wallet

Starting point is 00:07:05 and you'd be amazed everything I stick in there I've got everything there in there everything from oh and there's a blade I keep in my knife I always have several blades on me, of course. In the wallet, I've got so many things. A little knife sharpener, like you would use for fish hooks that works in a pinch, one of those, you know, a little military can opener, but then more practical things. A Fresno lens, Fresnel lens, you know, a lens you can use to start fire. A knife, a credit card knife. This is a really cool thing. It looks like a, like a credit card, basically. It folds out to a knife. I've got. one of their cards in there that has various like multi-tool type functions.

Starting point is 00:07:51 I've got a fishing kit. Yeah, small fishing kits in there, first aid kit. Space blanket, emergency milar blanket. A lighter. Yeah, it's big enough to hold a cigarette lighter. Yeah, there's probably five or six other things in there. I mean, I carry a lot in that wallet and it's crazy how much you can actually fit into a large wallet and this is a folding type it's not the you know the big flat wallet this is a folder fits in my back pocket even a pair of jeans and it's not terribly uncomfortable unless I'm sitting on something very hard and then I may have to take the wallet out of my pocket I don't even know probably a hundred yards of 300 pound braided test line yeah there's a ton of stuff that's just in my wallet

Starting point is 00:08:41 So between the belt and the wallet, I'm carrying at least two blades, three ways of starting fire, two first aid kits, an emergency blanket, water purification tabs in each, quart-sized Ziploc bag in the wallet, in case, you know, I have no other way of holding water. A lot of stuff, actually, and that's, you know, it's just part of my EDC. I've also got one of those emergency bracelets that's got the ferro rod, another blade and multi-tool compass whistle flashlight and the flashlight's pretty cool because if you hold it down it will give off an SOS signal or just do a flash for emergency purposes so that's just basic EDC that's not even including my pocket knife I carry with me

Starting point is 00:09:30 always attached to that I have braided up using a little bit of macramee skills nodding skills I have more 300-pound test fishing line, probably 300 yards or so, braided up into sort of a lanyard, and attached to that a 6-ounce lead sinker. So you put that on to your Swiss Army knife, which I carry Swiss. You've got multiple blades and tools on that, of course. And I call it a Swiss Army knife. I'm not going to be all trendy and call it an S-A-K or something like that. I'm not a pseudo-military guy.

Starting point is 00:10:11 I carry a Swiss Army knife, and it connected to that cord to a large lead sinker becomes a self-defense tool as well as part of my fishing kit. On my key ring, I have a small Swiss Army knife, a flashlight, Farrow Rod and Stryker, and a larger fishing kit. Actually, I'll show you all this stuff. This is what goes in my pockets, you know, on a daily basis. This is not, you know, what I take out in the woods with me. This is in that, in that a little bottle, a little vitamin bottle, you know, a small one, like maybe I don't remember what was in there. Maybe some cod liver oil tablets or something. It's not very big.

Starting point is 00:10:53 I've got hook sinkers, some floats. I've got several like MEP spinners, treble hooks, some more line, good fishing kit in there. There are some three-way swivels, some snaps and clips. I mean, with what's in my pockets, if need be, I have basically fire, first aid, primary first aid. That's where I started talking about here. Neosporans in there, you know, various things. Actually, some super glue. I mean, you know, anything I need to stop bleeding.

Starting point is 00:11:30 Anti-diereal tablets, some antihistamins in case I get stung by a bunch of hornets or something out in the woods. that's happened before you know you go out there in the woods and you step on an underground wasp nest or even yellow jackets or get into some hornets happened to me many many times I got so I got some Benadron there I got some active fed I got a couple of mucinex you know in case of lung congestion some anti-diareal tablets because as I started talking about with the golden rod you want to stop bleeding and diarrhea primarily. So I can take care of basic first aid stuff. I've got a needle and thread. I've got anything I need like if I actually had to sew up an injury, which I hope I never have to do in the woods. I never have before. Duck tape's always been my friend. And I've got some pretty big scars. So, you know, I can tell you duct tape does the trick along with pine pitch that I can gather in the woods. And I do carry a little with me. I've also got like if I'm going into the woods or I'm going to be like more than say a half hour from the house you know

Starting point is 00:12:40 driving might get stuck somewhere I've got you know my canteen has some clean water in it the little like if you remember these old the old aluminum canteens I bought army surplus so it's got the little stove attachment a little cup attachment and a little molly pack I carry with me if I'm going out further than you know if I'm maybe away from the house for like more than 30 minutes or I'm going out more than a mile or two in the woods I put a little molly pack on my belt and it's got all kinds of stuff in there from you know a rain poncho to more first aid stuff um little one those collapsible cups some more fishing gear like uh speed snares and um fishing yo yo um more

Starting point is 00:13:25 line pericord of course um a bigger ferro rod another lighter some more matches uh i haven't even remember everything that's in the molly pack i I really ought to make a list of it and maybe do a video and just show you guys my ADC sometime because it's not a lot to carry where you might think what's hanging on my keychain is like heavy and it's going to get in the way actually it's all really small and I think it was James Bender you know he has a channel on YouTube I can't remember the name of his school he always promotes it but his name's James Bender he's pretty cool it's not waypoint is a waypoint I can't remember another Appalachian guy Anyway, he gave me that tip of putting a little clip on there, a carabiner, and you can put it in your pocket and then attach the carabiner to your belt loop, and you barely know you're carrying anything.

Starting point is 00:14:22 So anywhere I go, I've got, and then I also would carry a belt knife if I went in the woods. I usually have my hoary-hoi-hore knife. and if I carry a pout if I'm wearing camo I'm sorry if I'm wearing cargo pants I would put a few trail snacks in there obviously you know if I if I do carry a bag it's going to be like a messenger style bag basically when I go out in the woods I don't like to look like I'm going out with a if I carry a weapon I don't like it to be seen if I carry my bow it's a a takedown bow i think you can understand why i'm not going to elaborate on that point i don't like to be seen with a fishing rod i don't like to be seen with a sleeping bag or a tent um so really kind of like a

Starting point is 00:15:14 possible's bag and a couple of things on my belt in an emergency situation i'm set with if i carry food if i think you know and i do usually carry a little rations pack with me that's nothing more than a like a quart-sized Ziploc bag with about a pound or so about a half a pound each of rice lentils some bullion cube salt pepper oh a little bottle of cooking oil you know because you need fats if you're that's one of you really need to prioritize fats if you're in an emergency situation and some tinfoil you can use to cook on or cook in when you know it's very small it doesn't if i'm wearing cargo pants cargo shorts you know that pocket like right on your right thigh um little to

Starting point is 00:16:10 satcheries goes in there i mean just a little cornmeal i because you know i like to bread fish and fry them if i have the option because carbs you don't get enough carbs in the woods you don't get enough fats in the woods people think well i'm going to live off of fish and game and vegetables i forage well you can do that you can get through three days a week maybe longer you can make it a month but you're going to get weaker and weaker because you don't have fats and carbs so I do try to take you know a little bit of cornmeal and flour and sticking in there and I can always make some gravy if I find some wild onions you know it's it's just not a it's not something I'm going to live on for um a week but I could a little thing of tomato paste goes in there

Starting point is 00:16:54 so I get a little bit of sugar and vitamin C from that you know I can make a nice little soup out of lentils rice onion powder or wild onions or totally satcheries you know Creole seasoning a little bit of tomato paste a bullion cube and I can eat real well off of that actually I can so that little bit of food is like maybe three days worth if I had to really survive on it if I'm going out hiking I'll throw in the other pocket just you know some granola bars and be jerky, you know, that's going to stretch anything out. And yeah, you get by pretty well on that, especially if I can find some drinkable water and water that may have some fish or crawfish in it.

Starting point is 00:17:36 I've got everything I need to catch them. Scenairing's completely illegal in North Carolina, it's set for beavers. And when I go out hiking or if I was in a survival situation, unexpected. I'm not really thinking I'm going to go trap a beaver. If I go out beaver trapping, I'm going out specifically beaver trapping. I mean, that's a beaver's a big critter. I mean, that's a lot of meat to deal with. And not everywhere you go are you going to find the beaver? So in a larger pack, yeah, I'll take some survival snares. But in North Carolina, that's a big red flag for a game ward. if they see you with any kind of snares. A couple of dog proof traps, D.P. Traps for Coons and Possum, perfectly fine.

Starting point is 00:18:24 A couple of rat traps for squirrels. You know, a bit of a gray area there legally, but, hey, they're legal and snares aren't. So, you know, in the bigger pack, again, that's not going with me in my ADC. But anyway, when we get back to First Aid, we should definitely be looking at Golden Run. because Golden Rod is great if you have cold, allergy, diarrhea, or some kind of bleeding. And Culpepper writing in the 1500s said that the herb of Golden Rod, and usually we're talking about the leaves and flowers dried, but you can use them fresh as well. Provokes urine, so good for the kidneys and the reins, as he put it.

Starting point is 00:19:10 Good for any kind of kidney stones, bladder stones, edema. Very effectual, he said, the decoction of the herb green or dry. That means basically a tea made of the plant, whether green or dry, or a distilled water made thereof, he said, so like an extract. So it was good for inward bruises, but could also be outwardly applied to stay bleeding in any part of the body. Also good for the fluxes and humors. That means diarrhea and mucus discharge. The bloody flux and women's courses, so excessive menstrual bleeding, is no less prevalent in all ruptures or burstings, so serious internal injuries, pretty common in the 1500s of England. People worked really hard, and they also had to climb ladders and trees a lot, you know, gathering fruit and such and doing work, and people fell and got internal injuries and hernias and all kinds of stuff, prettyly common back then.

Starting point is 00:20:12 So the old books are really good advice when it comes. just things that are very practical like that. Being drank inwardly or applied outwardly. He says a sovereign wound herb, inferior to none. So as good as Yara is what he's saying. It was good for green wounds, old sores, ulcers, quickly cured thereof and could be made to lotion and used for sores of the mouth, throat,

Starting point is 00:20:41 and the privy parts, in other words, the genitals. Decoction also. helps to fasten teeth that are loose in the gums. It's astringent. It tightens the tissue of the gum. So good for loose teeth. Ms. Grieve, also in English oribles, but writing several hundred years later, this is 1930s. She says, there's aromatic, stimulant and carmeneative. Aromatic, of course, means it smells nice, actually. Stimulants for the digestion, carminatives means settles and upset stomach, essentially. She gets into different uses of it, but a powder at this point in 1930s was official medicine in England.

Starting point is 00:21:19 Your doctor would actually give you a powder of golden rod for ulcerated sores. She said it was also good for many maladies and is a good diaphoretic and warm infusion. That means it will actually help break a fever. She said it's helpful in dysmenorrhea and aminuria and a great value in diphtheria. This is the golden rod that everybody wants to get rid of thinking it causes allergies. Just, I mean, keep that in mind. You know, this is another one like dandelion that people spray round up on. We should be using it.

Starting point is 00:21:49 And it actually makes a very pleasant tea. It's full of vitamin C, and it's one of the best wilderness teas. Father Kunzel in the German tradition said, You will find this perennial, often a meter high with yellow flowers in deforested places, berry places, long roadside, and it rightly deserves to name Goldenrod. internally use the tea for the croup, sore throat, bladder ailments, light diarrhea, sleeplessness. It does actually help the sleep a little bit. But for internal use, one should always add the same amount of juniper berries or a common

Starting point is 00:22:26 centuary. Centuary is not as common in America as it is in Germany, but we do have native junipers, often called red cedar, like juniper, Virginia, juniper, juniper, juniper, juniper, juniperis virginiana very common in the Carolinas and he recommended a half cup five times a day soaked dry herb could be used as a poultice for the same diseases externally and yeah he said four parts golden rod and one part of juniper berries or common centauri I had such trouble pronouncing that word it's C-N-T-A-U-R-Y it's just a it's a stringent plant makes a good and completely harmless drink for sleep half an hour before going to

Starting point is 00:23:15 bed golden rod does have somewhat I wouldn't call it a strongly sedative quality at all really with the juniper berries what's going to do is help with digestion so stomach relief gas or the bloating you know feeling full just it's going to help you be more comfortable but it's also somewhat relaxing certainly not as strong as camomile, but it is worthwhile. His proche was brother Aloysius, and he said it was used for ulcerations of the throat, ulcerated mouth for loose teeth, for fistulists, throat infections, neck complaints, croup, bladder and kidney complaints, block spleen, jaundice, dropsy, old sores, blood spitting, diarrhea, rotting gums, dysentery, scropula, asthma,

Starting point is 00:24:04 swelling, insomnia, coughing, chronic catara or congestion, Chronic pain in the side and back, good for diabetes, to break up stones, and to facilitate urination, and especially for women following birth. So, there, next time people start complaining about Golden Rod, you can look at it, and you know it's a variable medicine chest, and I am not kidding. Maria Trevin, she was Austrian, so this is continuing in the Germanic tradition. So there's an excellent remedy for bleeding of the intestines. rod also excellent running for disorders of the kidneys flowers and leaves of golden rod have a cooling effect and the plant is diuretic and recommended for all kidney and bladder complaints golden rod together with bed straw that's gallium and white or yellow dead nettle is efficacious in cases of cirrhosis

Starting point is 00:24:56 of the kidneys renal failure renal dialysis or renal failure even when renal dialysis has to be performed she mentions a 52 year old man suffering from cirrhosis of the kidneys came to me puffing and sweating heavily as he climbed the stairs where I lived fighting for breath he fell into a chair in a week after having drunk three cups of tea made with the aforementioned herb mixture he felt a lot better he used only fresh herbs and after the third week he was free from complaints very good for well it's a diuretic it's very good for the kidneys and such let's see up to more modern use in America

Starting point is 00:25:35 Peterson Field Guide for Eastern Medicinal Plant says Canada Gold Rod, Saladago, Canadensis, American Indians used the root for burns and the flowers for fever, snake bites, crushed flowers chewed for sore throats, contains quercetin, a compound reportedly useful in treating hemorrhagic nephritis. So another reason it's good for the kidneys. Sweet golden rod, Saladago odorata. The leaf tea is pleasant tasting, formerly used as a digestive stimulant, diaphoretic, diuretic, and mild astringent, used for colic to regulate menses, stomach cramps, colds, coughs, fevers, dysentery, diarrhea, measles, and used externally as a loss for rheumatism, neuralgia, and headaches. Wow. The Thomsonians, okay, I probably mentioned

Starting point is 00:26:26 the Thomsonians before. They were really the second major school of American herbalism. They were the ones that were so effective in herbal medicine and so popular among people, especially out in the countryside, that the American Medical Association was essentially formed to help put them out of business. The doctors did not like herbalists taking their patients away. He said of Saladago Candidensis, Dr. Thompson said, this herb may be found in commonplace, et cetera. You know how to, you know how to identify it. He said the The smell and taste were somewhat sweet and spicy resembling fennel or anise. To me, it's not that strong, but it's not bad at all.

Starting point is 00:27:10 He said there's an oil obtained from this herb that is good medicine and also prepared in essence is good for pain in the head to be taken on the outside or bathed with it. The leaves and flowers are stimulating and slightly astringent, tonic, aniseptic to the mucous membrane. It is a sanitive germicide and is valuable in the presence of putrescence and it's in diphtheria, tonsillitis,

Starting point is 00:27:35 laryngitis, pharyngitis, et cetera. It may be boiled down and made into a decoction, I'm sorry, made to a confection with sugar. So they actually almost made a cough drop out of it. Said it was good for a sore throat and for all, and for children and adults. In Catero, which is congestion. It was very good.

Starting point is 00:27:54 So Solidago is very valuable. It cures quickly and completely and may be used alone in a hot, fusion or combined with other suitable agents. In typhoid fever, it stimulates and cleanses the mucous membrane very successfully. Good for bronchial catter or congestion. Currently, plants for future states that golden rod is a safe and general remedy for a number of disorders. In particular, it is a valuable astringent remedy treating wounds and bleatings, whilst it is particularly useful the treatment of urinary tract disorders.

Starting point is 00:28:29 being used both for serious ailments such as nephritis and for more common problems such as cystitis. Yeah, it's a go-to for bladder infections, by the way. The plant contains saponins that are antifungal and act specifically against the candida fungus, which is the cause of vaginal and oral thrush. It also contains ruten, which is used to treat capillary fragility, and glycosides which are anti-inflammatory. The leaves and flowering tops are anthelmintic, It means it can actually help get rid of worms and parasites, amazingly.

Starting point is 00:29:02 Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, aromatic, extrinsic, carmeneative, diaphragm, mildly diuretic, febrafusion stimulant. A good, voluntary herb, that means a wound herb. It is proved of value when used internally for the treatment of urinary infections, chronic catteras, skin diseases, influence a whooping cough, bladder, and kidney stones. Due to its mild action, golden rod is used to treat gastroenteritis in children. It makes an excellent mouthwash. the treatment of thrush. The plant is gathered in the summer and drive for later use.

Starting point is 00:29:31 You can still gather it now. It's no problem, by the way. The seed is anti-coagulate, astringent, well, I guess, depending on where you live. I mean, I'm in the northern hemisphere in the southern United States. Now is a pretty good time to gather goldenrod. If you're further north or further south, it may be different. The plant is gathered, okay, the seed is anti-coagulate, astringent, and carmenative, a homeopathic remedy is made for it, and was using the treatment of kidney and bladder disorders, rheumatism, and arthritis. So, that weed side of the road that you've been cussing for your nasal allergies one is probably not the cause of your nasal allergies two it's one of the most potent medicinal native plants native to just about the entire world just about

Starting point is 00:30:16 every region has its own variety of goldenrod um it's one of the best there is um you know really you kind of have to scratch your head and wonder, I mean, all our ancestors used this plant. Native American, British, Celtic, German, Slavic, Roman, Greek, African, Asian, etc. Arab, you name it. They all knew this plant. They knew its medicinal values. How the heck did we forget it? I mean, one, will we ever learn that it's ridiculous? I mean, this is probably our biggest problem in modern America. We're always fighting against nature instead of learning to live with it and use things that God put here for our food and medicine and textiles and you know all that we have gotten to this idea since you know the early 1900s maybe in the late 1800s that you know chemistry you

Starting point is 00:31:12 know you remember the line from the graduate plastics right plastics are the will solve everything now we think AI and computers will solve everything could be that we grow inside of the road is exactly what you need. Now, maybe you don't want to harvest the side of the road because there could be petroleum runoff and other chemicals that could have gotten on it, but certainly in a field or a pasture or by the edge of the woods where things are a little bit cleaner. Go for it. Now, a lot of people have been asking me, what about chemtrails? How can I make sure my herbs don't have weird chemicals on them from airplanes? You can't. Sorry. You could harvest your plants and wash them. You might want to use a vinegar solution. You might

Starting point is 00:31:56 want to use some bacon soda. I don't know. But then you would have to really thoroughly dry them before they're stored or they'll mold and the mold's probably going to make you a lot sicker than anything that came from that airplane. Best thing to do is just go to the most pristine environment you can find. Make sure it's not on an old industrial site or something and harvest your herbs and hope for the best. It's still going to be a lot better for you than most things you're going to get from the grocery store, the drugstore, over-the-counter products like Tylenol and such. So, yeah, that's golden rod.

Starting point is 00:32:33 And now maybe you can see that it's not only a beautiful flower, but it's a useful herb. And, you know, this is the time of year you can really identify it and appreciate it. And is perennial. So if you wanted to wait until next year to harvest it when it comes back and harvest in the summer, kind of before it flowers, you can mark it now, and you'll know exactly where it's going to be. So, enjoy your golden rod, y'all, and have a wonderful fall, autumn, whatever you want to call it. And I will talk to you next week.
