Goldthread

Goldthread may refer to:

• Gold thread, embroidery using metal threads
• The plant genus, Coptis
• The plant genus, Cuscuta

Gold thread was available at drug stores (packaged roots) as late as the 1950s. The roots were boiled into a tea and the tea was used to swap out the mouth of babies with thrush. It was also effective applied topically to cure thrush from nursing mothers' breasts. By the mid 1960s it was no longer commercially available.
