Feverfew is an herb. The leaves are used to make medicine.
Feverfew has many uses, but so far, it seems to be effective only for preventing
migraineheadaches in some people.
Feverfew is also used for fever, irregular menstrual periods, arthritis, a
skin disorder called
psoriasis,
allergies,
asthma, ringing in the ears (
tinnitus), dizziness, and
nausea and vomiting.
Some people use feverfew for difficulty getting
pregnant or fathering a child (
infertility). It is also used for “tired
blood” (
anemia),
cancer,
common cold,
earache,
liver disease, prevention of
miscarriage, muscular tension, bone disorders,
swollen feet,
diarrhea, upset
stomach and intestinal gas.
Feverfew is sometimes applied directly to the gums for
toothaches or to the skin to kill germs.
You may not get your money’s worth from all feverfew products. Some feverfew tablet products can contain little or no feverfew.
How does it work?
Feverfew leaves contain many different chemicals, including one called parthenolide. Parthenolide or other chemicals decrease factors in the body that might cause migraine headaches.
