About goldenrod oil


During the Boston Tea Party, the colonist drank Goldenrod tea, which was nicknamed the "Liberty Tea." In the past the oil was used for treating digestive disorders, throat problems and disorders of the nervous system. The fresh, balsamic and peppery smell of the oil is very relaxing.

Oil is extracted by steam distillation from the flowers of the Solidago Canadensis plant. The name is derived from the Latin word "solide," which means "to make whole." The plant grows to a height of about 3 feet and is mainly grown in parts of Canada.
