April 15, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire This is one of the best medicines for sore throats. Both the golden root and the above-ground part of the plant can be used to make a tincture or tea. In addition, the root can be chewed for immediate effect. The root is so bitter that it will make you forget that you have a sore throat. In fact, the bitterness will make you forget you have a throat at all!

I am not sure why I could not find this plant last year. It is all over the place in this forest of Eastern White Pine, Eastern Hemlock and American Beech trees.
