Solidago Complex, or as we sometimes call it, Alfred
Vogel’s ‘waterfall
drops’ are a
combination of four herbs which work synergistically in the body. Apart from
Solidago (Solidago virgaurea) the herbs
present in this fresh herb tincture are Birch (Betula pendula), Restharrow (Ononis
spinosa) and Horsetail (Equisetum
arvense).
Solidago virguarea, also known as Golden Rod, is a herbaceous plant found in temperate countries, often in the natural flora of grassy mountainous areas. The name Solidago means ‘to make whole’. In 15th and 16th Century Europe it was used topically for wound healing but in modern times the main use of Solidago is to help maintain the health of the urinary tract. As well as being part of this tincture Solidago can also be found in our Golden Rod Herbal Tea.
The Birch tree (Betula pendula) is known as ‘The Tree of Life’. It grows well in temperate and Nordic climates and its leaves have been used in herbal supplement combinations to aid detox by supporting the body’s natural elimination of toxins and impurites. One of the lesser ingredients in this combination is Restharrow (Ononis spinosa). It is a commonly found in almost all parts of Europe, West Africa and Asia and has been used traditionally to support bladder health. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is another minor but important ingredient in Solidago complex. The plant is said to resemble a horse’s tail and it grows almost everywhere. Although poisonous to grazing animals when eaten in large quantities it has been used by people from as long ago as the Ancient Romans in the form of a tea.

“I developed bladder inflammation that lasted a couple of months. I felt urgency and a feeling that I did not empty my bladder completely. I also had some pain in the bladder, it was a feeling of heat and burning. I increased my water intake and that helped with the pain but it was a very small improvement. My osteopath recommended me to take Solidago. I started taking it and I immediately felt so much better. I am back to normal and I am so happy because I thought that this pain was going to become chronic and I was never going to feel good again. I am still taking the drops to make sure the inflammation never comes back again. I am thankful for my osteopath's recommendation and for A Vogel.”
