Feverfew: reduce the number and the severity of your migraines with this leaf.(usage of feverfew, herb to prevent migraines)
HERB: Feverfew
AKA: Tanacetum parthenium
PART USED: Leaf
WHAT IT DOES BEST: Feverfew is used primarily to prevent migraine headaches.
BACKGROUND: Feverfew has been used for centuries to relieve menstrual disorders, fevers, headaches, psoriasis, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
RECENT FINDINGS: Feverfew is mainly considered a preventive measure, but some studies indicate this herb may also help reduce the severity of migraine headaches.
A recent trial showed a special extract of feverfew known as MIG-99 significantly reduced the frequency of migraine headaches, although there was no significant difference in the duration of attacks. In this placebo-controlled, double-blind study published in the November 2005 issue of the medical journal Cephalalgia, participants in the non-placebo group were given 6.25mg of MIG-99 three times daily. The decrease in migraine frequency began after one month and was maximal after two months of treatment. For participants experiencing an average of 4.76 attacks per 28-day period, the frequency was reduced by 1.9 attacks.
