Queen of the Meadow (Eupatorium Purpureum), also known as Joe Pye weed, is an herb that was actually introduced to America by European settlers. It is often confused with Boneset or Gravel root, as they are of the same genus and have passing resemblance. Within Europe, it was held as Sacred to Druids and was perhaps most famously used by Queen Elizabeth who would have it used as a strewing herb within her chambers.Possessing aspirin like qualities, Queen of the Meadow actually contains the chemical used to create the over the counter medicine. As such, it was commonly used to reduce fever and reduce pain and is still often prescribed for such by herbalists.This is a 1 oz packet of Queen of the Meadow.
