Historically, Goldenrod has been used on the skin to heal wounds. It has also been used as a diuretic, meaning it helps the body get rid of excess fluid. 

​

Goldenrod has also been used to treat tuberculosis, diabetes, enlargement of the liver, gout, hemorrhoids, internal bleeding, asthma, and arthritis. In folk medicine, it is used as a mouth rinse to treat inflammation of the mouth and throat. It may also reduce inflammation, however, this has not been thoroughly studied in humans.
