My dog will drag me all over our property to eat goldenrod leaves when her stomach is upset. She will only eat goldenrod. Amazing. I figured it helped her stomach but I still don't know how she knew to go for the goldenrod. Thanks for a great article.

Hi Tami,

Seems to me animals and plants have secrets we can never understand.
Plants hold medical mysteries; animals just seem to know them.

Nature's pretty amazing.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
