ABOUT: The American Indians introduced the use of Boneset to the early settlers for the treatment of Colds, Influenza, Rheumatism, Indigestion, Constipation, and all kinds of Fever. There is suggestion that Boneset has the ability to rev up the Immune System in response to Infection and can clear the Upper Respiratory Tract of Mucus Congestion, offering relief from Colds and Flu. There is supporting evidence that as an Anti-inflammatory, Boneset lends itself to the treatment of Arthritis and the possibility that the immune stimulants in Boneset may have Anti-Cancer attributes.
