Eupatorium purpureum - Wild Harvested; grain alcohol 60%, spring water. Strength 1:5.
Supports urinary tract health; anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and fever-lowering properties.*
Summary: The Iroquois called a decoction of gravel root "little medicine water" because of its healing properties. The herb is a diuretic, astringent, anti-inflammatory and febrifuge. It may be used to ease urination in cases where kidney stones are present, and can help relieve edema associated with gout and rheumatism. The tea may help break a fever by encouraging sweating, and is often used to treat diseases of the urogenital tract. Other Native American uses have included relieving constipation, washing wounds with a strong tea made from the root to prevent infection and as a general tonic taken during pregnancy and after childbirth. PLEASE NOTE! The internal use while pregnant was historically practiced by native peoples, but its current use while pregnant is not recommended.
Precautions: Not recommended while pregnant. It should not be used in the long term as it may cause damage to the liver or kidneys.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
