Boneset

Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) – 1 oz

A traditional herbal remedy prized for its immune-boosting, fever-reducing, and respiratory-supportive properties. Also known as Feverwort or Agueweed, Boneset has been used for generations to aid the body during seasonal illness and recovery.

Ingredients:

• 100% dried Boneset (aerial parts)

Preparation Techniques:
Use 1–2 grams (about ¼–½ teaspoon) per 8 oz of hot water. Steep covered for 10–15 minutes to extract its active compounds. For deeper herbal action, simmer gently for 5–10 minutes. Adults may drink 1–3 cups daily at the onset of cold or flu symptoms or as directed by a qualified herbalist.

Medicinal Benefits:

• Immune support: Compounds in Boneset may stimulate white blood cell activity, helping the body defend against viral and bacterial infections.

• Fever relief: Traditionally used as a diaphoretic to promote sweating and help break fevers naturally.

• Respiratory aid: Acts as a gentle expectorant, loosening mucus and easing symptoms of coughs, sore throats, and congestion.

• Digestive support: Offers mild laxative and bile-stimulating properties, which can help ease discomfort during illness.

Fun Historical Fact:
The name “Boneset” originates from its traditional use in treating “breakbone fever” (an old term for dengue fever), not because it heals bones, but due to its ability to relieve the deep aches and pains associated with intense fevers.
