Remedy profile

The classic symptom picture for Solidago is of kidney disease, possibly with nausea, insomnia, a weak chest, and susceptibility to colds. Solidago is used when the kidneys feel distended, sore, aching, and tender, with pain extending down to the thighs, or toward the bladder and abdomen. There are typically difficulties in passing urine, which is scanty and discolored, or clear and foul-smelling. The remedy may also be prescribed to treat fibroids.

Symptoms better: For profuse urination.
