Eupatorium Perfoliatum also known as Boneset. It has a great affinity for bone-breaking pains. So, when you have a bad flu, dengue, or malaria going on and you feel like all your bones will break, or your back will break, and your muscles are painful. This remedy will fit very nicely. A wonderful remedy made from this anti-viral plant.
It also acts on the spinal cord, skin, gastro-hepatic organs, and the bronchial mucus membranes.

I have used this remedy for fevers and flus:
- For a general fever. Eupatorium 30 + Belladonna 3, every 2 hours, and then spread out as your fever reduces.
- Also, I have used this daily in a 200 or 1M more as a preventative if there are colds/flu going around and then stop when the threat is over. Place a few pills in a water bottle that is almost full, shake vigorously, and take a sip. This is one dose. Keep it in the fridge so it will last several weeks. Shake vigorously before each use.
So how have others used it?
Eupatorium Perfoliatum in Dumb Ague. By B. B. Shaha. ( Homeopathic Recorder Vol 14, 1901)
“A native of Goldsmith class, aged 42 years, came under my treatment on 3rd February last. He was suffering from this malady for a month. He was under some allopathic doctors of Calcutta, but no perceptible improvement did he find in their treatment. Next, he came to me with the following symptoms:
Type — Tertian. Fever at 8am ; thirst insatiable; drinking hastens chill; bone pains in extremities; throbbing headache; sweat scanty; jaundice hue of skin, etc., etc. Eup. per/. 3, three times a day, perfectly cured the patient in four days, and no relapse since then.”
Here is a study on Eupatorium on pubmed:

I’ll leave you with one more case from SOME CLINICAL EXPERIENCES of ERASTUS E. CASE, M. D.
A light-haired boy of nine years has had quotidian chills for three days. He awakes early in the morning very thirsty. Chill begins in the spine at 6am, and lasts until 10am, with thirst and aching in his bones. Two hours of fever followed with headache, ending with nausea. The headache persists after the fever, but there is no sweat. That was the last chill, although he has resided during the thirteen years since then in one of the worst malarial sections of the state.
