Boneset, also called Agueweed, Feverwort, Thoroughwort, Sweating Plant, and Vegetable Antimony, is one of the best remedies for the relief of symptoms that accompany influenza. The common name Boneset includes the species Eupatorium tucrifolium, which is used interchangeably with Eupatorium perfoliatum. Boneset will speedily relieve the aches and pains, as well as aid the body in dealing with any fever that is present. Boneset may also be used to help clear the upper respiratory tract of mucous congestion. In the treatment of influenza, it may be combined with Yarrow, Cayenne or Ginger; and with Pleurisy Root & Elecampane in treating bronchial conditions. Boneset’s leaves and flowering tops are used in therapeutic treatments. It also has anti-inflammatory and laxative qualities. By inducing sweating, toxins are eliminated through the skin, and fever leaves the body. Boneset helps increase resistance to both bacterial and viral infections. The name Boneset is from the use of this herb in treating flu, known as breakbone fever, that caused bone pain in the early part of the 20th Century.
