In this video we make Boneset tincture from the dried leaves and flowers of the herb. Boneset is a commonly found plant that's used frequently for colds and flus, rheumatism, gout, to promote sweating, and to aid in treating Malaria by boosting the immune system. The plant is rather bitter in taste but extremely effective in tincture or tea form.
Boneset can usually be found in low lying moist environments and should be harvested in August to September. The leaves, flowers, and roots can all be used. This tincture is rather simple to make:
Mix equal parts dried leaves and flowers, cover with alcohol in a sterile glass jar. Shake and put in dark spot for 4-6 weeks, then strain and bottle. For those who are interested the herb to menstruum ratio normally used is 1:5, though I don't usually follow those ratios. This tincture is no different.
Before harvesting and using any plant you should know how to properly identify it.
