Description
The aerial portions of boneset (or feverwort, or thoroughwort) have a bitter flavor and affect the liver and lungs. Boneset is traditionally used for treating fevers, colds and flu, and tightness of the liver and abdomen.
The febrifuge, diaphoretic, expectorant, and laxative properties of the herb are due to the presence of sesquiterpene lactones, eupafolin, euperfolitin, eufoliatin, eufoliatorin, eperfolide and others, immunostimulatory polysaccharides, flavonoids, quercetin, kaempferol, hyperoside, astragalin, rutin, eupatorin, diterpenes including dendroidinic acid, hebenolide, vitamin C, volatile oil, and sterols.
Boneset is a pure relaxant working on the muscular structures, stomach, gall ducts, bowels and uterus. Besides working internally it exerts a decided action upon the periphery including the skin. Its main use is for fevers and flu.
Taken as a cold infusion it works as a soothing and relaxing agent to the stomach and liver, aiding the secretion of bile and providing a mild laxative effect. By aiding liver detoxification it helps clear the skin, relieve thirst and intermittent and bilious fevers.
As a warm infusion it serves as a reliable diaphoretic, providing a slow and gentle perspiration for the treatment of flu, colds and liver fever sometimes known as "breakbone fever" or dengue. It also relieves the aching pains of rheumatism.
