Feverfew and Migraines
British researchers tested the benefits of Feverfew on migraine sufferers and found that 7 out of 10 reported either fewer or less painful migraines. Some people reported that Feverfew helped with depression as well, though not having migraines might account for this effect. The leaves of the plant are ingested, and the most frequent potential side effect was mouth ulcers, and use should be discontinued if this happens.
There are commercial tinctures of Feverfew available, or you can grow Feverfew in your own home herb garden.
Feverfew is easy to grow 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 multitude of small white flowers, reminiscent of small daisies. If you grow Feverfew, once initially planted, it will spread by self seeding and sending out runners. It emerges in the spring, and as you continue to grow Feverfew, it will bloom all summer if flowers are pinched back.
To use medicinally, eat 1 medium sized leaf per day. There are very few 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 overlooked as a treatment for many common health problems. If additional information about the benefits of Feverfew is required, you may want to try "Googling" this term. There should be a wealth of information available on the internet.
