----------

This plant originated in southeastern Europe and was brought to North America for its medicinal qualities. As its name implies, the flowers and leaves are able to make a fever go away (“it maketh a fever fugitive”), and the pioneers used feverfew tea to relieve fever, colds, and headache. The herb may help in arthritis. Feverfew is especially useful in treating and preventing migraine headaches. Although some recommend migraine sufferers eat a “feverfew sandwich” (two fresh leaves on a piece of bread) daily as a means of preventing migraine headaches, eating fresh leaves can cause mouth sores. Using capsules or pills may be preferable. It has been used since ancient times to promote menstruation, in difficult births, and to expel the afterbirth. Feverfew does have strong effects on the uterus and should not be used during pregnancy. It should not be taken by patients being treated with warfarin or other “blood thinners,” because it also interferes with coagulation.
