Description: Traditional Fluid Extract of Boneset Aerial Parts, Eupatorium perfoliatum, in 25% Ethanol and Purified Water.
Traditional Use: Accounts vary on the origin of the name boneset. In the 1800s, the plant was used for “breakbone fever” (a name that refers primarily to dengue fever) and “intermittent fevers” (a telltale symptom of malaria). Both dengue and malaria can cause joint and bone pain. Boneset sometimes was used as a quinine substitute. Native American tribes have used boneset as an antipyretic (to reduce fever) and cold remedy. They also have soaked broken bones in boneset tea. Native American use of boneset led to its introduction into American allopathic, Eclectic, and Thomsonian medical practices. The Eclectic physicians used boneset as a diaphoretic (to induce perspiration) and emetic (to induce vomiting). Modern naturopaths and herbalists still use boneset for flu, cough, and pain, as well as for its laxative and diaphoretic effects.
As all herbal extracts, Boneset works best when blended with other herbal extracts with similar and complementary actions, most suited for the condition. For custom-made blend and professional advice, please contact the pharmacy.
Traditional Dose: 1-2 ml (20-40 drops) three times day.
