The name "Boneset" is derived from its traditional use to relieve deep bone pain associated with dengue fever as evidenced by Native Americans and early European settlers. The western settlers considered it a panacea and the Eclectic physicians used Boneset to treat the 1918 influenza epidemic. Boneset was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1916 and the National Formulary from 1926 to 1950.
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. A small number of people experience nausea when using Boneset. Patients with liver disease and individuals with kidney disease should avoid Boneset. Do not use this herb for longer than six months. Boneset should not be used when patient has a high fever.
Individuals sensitive to plants in the Daisy family (sesquiterpene lactone-containing plants) should use all Boneset supplements with caution.
