Hi Ken & All, Aug 3. 2012
The plants were cut July 26 2009 when in full flower. For the =
boneset herb, and based on conversations with the person who did this =
tedious preparation, fresh leaves were cut into small squares (~ 4 mm x =
4 mm) and dried on newspaper placed in a sunny window.=20
I made the tea using guesswork; one level teaspoon of loose dried =
leaf simmered for ~5 minutes in 8 fl oz of water.=20
As I say, perhaps it did no good but at least did no harm.

Was the tea from the leaves? flowers? You probably described that =

Hi Paul, Aug 3, 2012
Boneset tea tastes awful so it must be good. I tried some in =
2011 as described in the following paste. It may not have helped but it =
did no harm.
START OF PASTE
I gave my left wrist a bad sprain yesterday morning (pulled hard =
on a=20
dead branch that suddenly broke so wrist bent sideways) and within 3 =
hours just bending my fingers caused severe pain-- so not wanting to =
endure down-time I went for the 6-million dollar man rapid healing =
option; economy style: warm water soak, massage, elastic bandage, tai =
chi (sp ?) exercises, wrist sock, hot watter bottle and last but perhaps =
not least, 2 cups of=20
Boneset (Aug 2009) tea.
END OF PASTE
The next day I was able to use the chainsaw for about 5 hours.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

Subject: [NatureNS] Boneset
Hi All
Yesterday evening after the rain I went to spend a little
time on the river. It was dark and overcast with only a few drops
of rain. I waded in a pool so I was close to the truck should
a downpour come on - LOL!
The light made the Boneset on the banks very showy. I know it
is often not a show stopper but the evening light brought it out.
An interesting plant, suprisingly not on any poison, obnoxious =
list
that I could see. It was used for a lot of things in the old days
but has passed out of favor. Who knows what properties will be
discovered it has in the future?
Does anyone know if it is a host plant for any butterflies?
Interesting birds passed by but in the interests of SAR, I will
refrain from mentioning them here.
Enjoy the summer
Paul
