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.
