Boneset Tincture
Traditional Immune Support Rooted in Wild Wisdom
At Bluebird Natural Healing, we honor the legacy of plants that have stood the test of time. Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) is one such herb—used for centuries by Indigenous and early American herbalists to support the body during feverish illnesses and seasonal transitions. Our Boneset Tincture is handcrafted from wild-harvested, organically sourced aerial parts, extracted in small batches to preserve its full spectrum of medicinal compounds.
🌼 Medicinal Benefits
Boneset is best known for its role in supporting the immune system and easing discomfort during viral infections. Its name comes from its historical use in treating “breakbone fever” (likely dengue), where it helped relieve deep body aches.
