SBL Eupatorium Perfoliatum Dilution, commonly known as Boneset, comes from the flowering herb Eupatorium perfoliatum of the Asteraceae family. Traditionally, healers have valued this plant for managing fevers, flu-like illnesses, and dengue fever. In homoeopathy, Eupatorium perfoliatum primarily targets intense bone pain, severe body aches, and high fever accompanied by chills. Therefore, practitioners frequently select this remedy for influenza, malaria-like symptoms, and conditions marked by deep muscular and skeletal soreness.

Therapeutic Uses of SBL’s Eupatorium perfoliatum
General Bone Pain
To begin with, Eupatorium perfoliatum relieves severe, generalized bone pain, especially during febrile illnesses such as malaria and influenza.
Muscle Soreness
In addition, the remedy addresses marked muscle soreness that commonly appears alongside bone pain in feverish states.
Malaria and Influenza
Moreover, Eupatorium perfoliatum reduces the intense pains and exhaustion associated with malaria and influenza.
Fever Pattern
Typically, chills appear between 7 and 9 a.m., accompanied by intense thirst and subsequently followed by nausea and vomiting of bile.
Vomiting of Bile
Furthermore, the medicine helps control profuse bilious vomiting, which usually follows extreme thirst.
Liver Pain
Along with these symptoms, patients experience soreness and sensitivity in the liver region, indicating hepatic involvement.
Bowel Disorders
Similarly, the remedy suits cases with frequent green, watery stools or, alternatively, constipation linked to liver soreness.
Coryza
At the same time, symptoms such as sneezing, hoarseness, chest soreness, and nasal irritation may appear.
Cough
Additionally, Eupatorium perfoliatum eases chronic, loose coughs with chest soreness, which worsen at night but improve in positions such as kneeling on hands and knees.
Influenza Symptoms
Notably, the remedy strongly addresses the profound soreness of muscles and bones during influenza.
Headache
In many cases, patients report throbbing headaches with a sensation of a heavy lead cap pressing over the skull. Along with this, vertigo often occurs, creating a tendency to fall to the left. Furthermore, headaches may recur periodically, especially on the third and seventh day. Pain frequently develops at the back of the head after lying down and produces a heavy, weighted sensation.
Cracked Mouth and Coated Tongue
Meanwhile, cracks may form at the corners of the mouth, while the tongue appears yellow-coated with a bitter taste.
Hiccough
Occasionally, persistent hiccough develops and worsens with tight clothing.
Aching and Swelling
In addition to pain, patients experience aching and soreness in the back, arms, wrists, and bones of the extremities. Swelling may also affect the left great toe, along with general dropsical swelling.
Gouty Soreness
In chronic cases, the remedy addresses joint inflammation, nodosities, and gouty soreness accompanied by severe headache.
Fever Response
Finally, perspiration relieves most symptoms except the headache. A clearly defined chill stage precedes the heat stage, which then brings nausea, bilious vomiting, and intense headache.
