Botanical Name: Eupatorium perfoliatum.

About Boneset Tincture: Boneset is a special plant growing in our gardens. This bitter-tasting herb has a range of actions and uses; bitter being both a flavor and an herbal action, particularly for digestive and liver support. The bitter flavor is tonic in action, helps to get digestive juices flowing, and encourages healthy function of the detoxification pathways of the body.

As an immune support, Boneset has long been used from autumn through spring to stimulate the immune system to do its job. This tincture can be indispensable to have on hand during the colder months, and can be used in place of Echinacea or even Elderberry. This plant's name has much to do with its indication for use to promote bone health.

Garden Notes: This beautiful, white, flowering plant, native to New England, is beloved by a variety of pollinating insects. Each August, we hand-harvest the flowering tops from our Biodynamic^® gardens and tincture them fresh in organic alcohol. We also leave flowers to reseed naturally and, in spring, we carefully watch to see where they are emerging.

Taste / Energetics: bitter, mildly aromatic, little bit of mineral, cooling, activating, supportive.

Actions: bitter, immune supportive, diaphoretic, aperient, tonic.

When to reach for it: In the colder months, like Echinacea, for immune support. For respiratory support. To help energy flow in the upper or lower respiratory tract. When occasional deep muscular aches are present. As a tonic for strong and healthy bones, ligaments, joints, and tendons. To encourage digestive juices and function, especially when there is a nervous component.
