Feverfew is best known to assist with the reduction in frequency of migraine headaches when used in small doses on a regular basis. In addition to its use in the relief of headaches it has also been found to be beneficial to help relieve joint pain (arthritis and rheumatism).
Feverfew historically was well recognised for its effects against migraine although the name depicts the role of this herb as being one of the treatment of fevers. In modern times Feverfew is also recognised for its "anti-inflammatory" properties assisting in the pain of arthritis and rheumatism. Part of the herb used is the Whole Herb.
Feverfew is native to Europe and the British Isles and is commonly found along fields and roadsides, as well as being grown in flower gardens throughout Europe and the United States . It is said that bees dislike the plant, and that carrying a handful of flower heads is supposed to make bees keep their distance.
If grown in the garden Feverfew can be used fresh on a sandwich, or can be dried, powdered and used as a tea. Capsules are another convenient way to consume the herb.
Feverfew displays a number of properties and has historically been used in a number of ways. In modern times, it is best known for reducing the frequency of headaches when used in small doses on a regular basis.

It is this component that appears to be useful in the relief of headaches.
