Goldrute – Was ist besser, ein Kaltauszug oder Tee?
Ich habe gelesen, dass man aus Goldrute auch einen (starken) Kaltauszug mit Wasser über Nacht (ca. 8 – 10 h) machen kann. Ist es nicht besser direkt einen Tee mit heißem Wasser zu kochen? Hat jemand evtl. eine Erklärung dazu?
Goldrute – Preparation, Dosage and Application
In order to prepare tea from golden ruts, 1-2 teaspoons with 1 cup of boiling water are poured over and left to stand for 2 minutes. In boiling water, the drawing time is extended to 10 minutes. The recommendation is to drink a cup between meals three times a day.
Herbs are often found in bladder and kidney teas.
In the case of gold reeds, 1600 mg of dry extract or 12 g of gold reeds are considered to be the maximum daily dose.
Traditionally, the herb is used for 2-4 weeks.

Thank you for your extensive answer. The topic of preparations.
I wanted to know if an extract of cold water is 2 teaspoons on 250 ml of water for about 8 – 10 h stronger/better than a tea (2 – 10 min draw time).
The difference between a cold extract (maceration) and a hot infusion (tea) lies in the way, how the active ingredients are extracted from the plant, which in each case differs advantages and disadvantages with him.
Cold extraction (maceration)
– Gentle extraction: Cold extraction takes place at room temperature, which means that heat-sensitive active compounds, such as certain essential oils, flavonoids and enzymes, can remain better.
– Less bitter substances: In this method, less bitter substances and tanning substances are often dissolved, which leads to a milder taste. This can be particularly advantageous in plants such as gold rod, which have potentially bitter or hearty notes.
– Longer extraction time: Since no heating takes place, the extraction takes longer (typically 8-10 hours). This can lead to a less intensive but balanced result.
Hot Infusion (Tee)
– Faster extraction: Hot water accelerates the extraction process, thereby releasing the active ingredients more quickly and at higher concentrations.
– Intensive taste and effect: The heat also dissolves harder extractable substances, which leads to a stronger tea with more intense taste and possibly stronger effect.
– Heat sensitive substances: Some sensitive ingredients can be destroyed or inactivated by the heat, which can reduce health benefits.
What method is better?
The choice between cold extract and hot infusion depends on what you want to achieve:
– A cold extract could be better suited for a milder taste and the preservation of heat-sensitive active ingredients.
– A hot infusion is preferred for faster preparation and more intense action.
In the case of gold rod traditionally used to support urinary tracts and inflammation, it may be useful, try both methods to find out which is best suited for your needs. Some users prefer a cold extract to use the gentler properties of the plant, while others prefer the hotter infusion for a more intense effect.
