Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

European Golden Rod (Solidago virgaurea) has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, primarily for urinary tract and inflammatory conditions. Its application for adenitis—inflammation of the glands, especially lymph nodes—is based more on its general anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties rather than any specific evidence for glandular inflammation. Historical records and traditional herbal compendia, such as those from German Commission E and various folk medicine sources, mention golden rod’s use for conditions involving swelling and inflammation, which may include adenitis by extension. However, there are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly evaluating European Golden Rod for the treatment or support of adenitis. Most scientific studies focus on its effects on the urinary tract, not on lymphatic or glandular inflammation specifically. Thus, while its use for adenitis can be traced to traditional herbal practices, scientific validation for this specific indication is lacking. The evidence rating is low (1/5), reflecting reliance on historical use rather than modern research.
