The herb Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has always been viewed as a medicinal herb. As the name suggests, folk healers employed it as a cure for fevers. Scientists have evaluated Feverfew, and, though it doesn′t reduce fevers, it was discovered to be an antispasmodic. It helps the body prevent the spasms in small blood vessels that are known to be an immediate cause of migraines. The chief active ingredient has been isolated, and might, someday, lead to a pure extract. Feverfew has also been shown, in clinical studies, to reduce vomiting and nausea, while improving digestion. Other studies have reported:

- relief from asthma attacks
- promotion of restful sleep
- relief from the inflammation, and thus the pain, of arthritis.

In the 1980’s, British researchers tested feverfew on migraine sufferers and found that 7 out of 10 recipients reported either fewer or less painful migraines. Some people reported that feverfew aided with depression as well. The leaves of the plant are usually ingested. The most common side effect is mouth ulcers, and use should be discontinued if this happens.

There are commercial tinctures of feverfew available, or it can be grown at home.

Feverfew is easily grown in the US and Europe, as it is a relative of the mint family. It grows as a tall (12-24″ or more) bushy plant, which displays a large number of small white flowers, reminiscent of small daisies. Once planted, it will propogate by self seeding and sending out runners. It emerges in the spring, and will continue to grow and bloom throughout the summer if flowers are pinched back.

To use medicinally, ingest 1 medium sized leaf each day. There are limited recipes for feverfew available. You may want to try putting it into a tossed salad, along with other fresh herbs. Another approach would be to sprinkle chopped feverfew leaves on top of marinara sauce. It could be made into pesto, using your favorite nuts.

In summary, the potential benefits of feverfew are many, and this important natural herbal remedy should not be neglected as a treatment for many common health problems. If additional information about feverfew is required, you may want to try “Googling” this term. There will be a wealth of information available on the internet.
