Boneset’s genus Eupatorium is named for King Mithridates VI Eupator of Ancient Greece. He was known for his alleged immunity to poisons having intentionally taken large amounts of medicinal and toxic plants to build up this immunity to try and prevent death. And it did, of sorts!

Bonset is native to Central Florida and grows very well here. It even grows in my own backyard! It doesn’t need much, just some moist conditions. During the dry season, the plant tends to die back, but will seed vigorously, spread through rhizomes, and return strongly in the Summer.

Boneset shines as a medicinal plant. It’s been used for fever reduction, treatment of cold and flu symptoms, and infection prevention. It was named for its use in treating Breakbone (Dengue) fever, though it is also used in healing broken bones. There is risk to the liver in large doses.

Boneset is an herb of protection, clarity, and repair. Using it in a ritual setting has been helpful for those in times of great change or inner healing. Associations with Saturn make this plant a strong ally in transitions and growth. Add some to a bath for powerful cleansing energy.

While it can be considered invasive in Florida, Yellow Dock will grow well here, and is more commonly called Curly Dock. It can be toxic for livestock to consume, so its weedy habits are discouraged. A hearty plant whose seeds can remain dormant for 80 years and still sprout!

“Yellow dock makes its presence known. In my valley, its small demulcent leaves are some of the first to unfurl as the snow melts, and as summer comes to an end, its large cluster of deep rust-colored seeds stands out in the landscape and lasts well into the winter.”

Oddly enough, Winter Savory (Satureja montana) grows better in Florida than Summer Savory. They both do great in the Spring, but the latter will suffer as the humid part of Summer kicks in. If you choose Summer type, it’s best to keep it as an annual and harvest early.

It’s said the Ancient Romans consumed a candied version of Elecampane root as a digestive aid. Some say this was done in the Middle Ages. Whenever it was done, adding some sugar made the flavor better I’m sure! This week’s recipe is an interesting and healthy version!

Elecampane is named for Helen of Troy, daughter of Zeus, and once Queen of Sparta. As she was carried away by Paris, a Trojan Prince, her tears fell. Where they landed, this plant grew. To the Greeks this associated the plant to her melancholy, grief, and longing for what was lost.

Elecampane likes cooler climates than Florida, and it can be hard to get it to flower here at all. In order to grow a strong plant, make sure it has light shade and well drained soil. It does not like the humidity and can be prone to root rot, which is the part you want so be mindful!

The root of Elecampane is common in the use of respiratory ailments and digestive concerns. It is a powerful stimulant to the lungs, helping clear mucus and soothe airways. It's best consumed in a strong extraction, with something added to help offset the powerful flavor.
