Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) has a long history of traditional use in supporting bladder health and the urinary tract. Herbalists in Europe and North America have used goldenrod as a diuretic and as a remedy for urinary tract infections, bladder inflammation, and kidney stones. Its use is documented in several traditional pharmacopeias, including the German Commission E, which approves goldenrod for irrigation therapy in cases of inflammation of the lower urinary tract and for prevention and treatment of kidney gravel. The plant contains flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic glycosides, which are believed to contribute to its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects. While there are some laboratory and animal studies suggesting anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and diuretic properties of goldenrod, high-quality human clinical trials remain limited. The traditional use is well-established, especially in European herbal medicine, but scientific validation through large-scale, randomized controlled trials is lacking. Thus, the use of goldenrod to support the bladder is primarily justified by traditional evidence, with a moderate level of support due to its historical usage and some preliminary pharmacological data.
