Feverfew is native to Southwest Europe
and was brought to America originally as an ornamental. It is commercially
cultivated in Japan, Africa, and Europe. Though Greek and European herbalists
traditionally used it to reduce fevers, the herb has a long history
of use in traditional and folk medicine as a treatment for disorders
often controlled by aspirin, such as fever, headaches, and some of the
accompanying symptoms such as nausea and depression. Historically, the
herb has been used as a remedy for headache, inflammation, and as a
general substitute for ailments treated with aspirin. Its most popular
use is for the prevention of migraine headaches and associated symptoms.
Additional benefits include lowered blood pressure, less stomach irritation,
and a renewed sense of well-being. It may also relieve dizziness, tinnitus,
and painful or sluggish menstruation. Its' extracts have been claimed
to relieve asthma, coughs, dermatitis, and worms. It is important to
note that pregnant women should not use this herb, and some people have
developed mouth ulcers or experienced loss of taste from eating the
fresh leaves.

Recently, Feverfew has been gaining fame
as an effective treatment for migraine headaches. It may also help ease diseases
caused by chronic inflammation such as arthritis. It is an aromatic plant
with a strong and lasting odor. Used externally, it helps as an insect repellent
and for treating insect bites. In combination with other ingredients, the
Feverfew plant brings such effective relief. Along with this, it works to
inhibit the release of two inflammatory substances, serotonin and prostaglandins.
Both are believed to contribute to the onset of migraines by inhibiting these
amines as well as the production of the chemical histamine. The herb controls
inflammation that constricts the blood vessels in the head and prevents blood
vessel spasms that may contribute to headaches.
The plant is rich in sesquiterpene lactones, the principal one being parthenolide.
Other constituents include essential oils, flavonoid glycosides, pinene derivatives,
and costic acid. Feverfew should be taken regularly to receive maximum benefit
and protection from migraines. The tea, drunk cold, may also relieve skin
perspiration associated with migraines, and has been used to stimulate appetite,
and improve digestion and kidney function.
