The Canadian Goldenrod is found in both the Eastern Deciduous Forest and the Tall Grass Prairie. It is a very useful herb because of its widespread uses. For example, the Goldenrod can treat all burns with a poultice created from the roots of the plant. It can heal sore throats by chewing on the flowers and very slowly sucking the juice out. If you make a tea from the flowers you can treat diarrhea and also snakebites. The Goldenrod is an astringent herb used for the treatment of bleeding wounds of the skin. The saponins found in the Goldenrod plant have a fungicidal property and are effective against the Candida fungus. The compounds in the plant and the oil made from the plant, called phenolic glycosides, are very effective with reducing swelling. This makes the Goldenrod effective at alleviating discomfort from broken/sprained body parts The chemicals responsible for these healing properties are Tannin and Saponin. Tannin's chemical formula is C76H52O46. Saponin's chemical formula is C27H42O3
