Product: Boneset Latin Name: Eupatorium perfoliatum syn. Cunigunda perfoliata, Eupatorium chapmanii, Eupatorium connatum & Eupatorium salviifolium. Plant Family: Asteraceae Other Names: Common Boneset, Thoroughwort, Agueweed, Crosswort, Feverwort, Indian Sage, Sweating Plant, Vegetable Antimony & Wood Boneset. Description: This perennial herb, native to the eastern areas of North America can reach a height of 1.5 metres. Its thick stem is covered in hairs and bears opposite pointed leaves which appear to be be ‘fused’ - hence the name Throughwortv - around the stem, which gave the idea that the plant had the power to fuse broken bones back together. The leaves are finely toothed, rough above, downy and resinous below. The flower clusters are white and similar to those of the yarrow. Brief History: This plants name is a misnomer, it has never actually been used to fix broken bones as the name suggests. The name derives from the plant's historical use by the Native American Indians to treat dengue fever also known as break bone fever, an influenza like viral illness. It was used to treat symptoms during the American influenza epidemic of 1891.
