Feverfew - The Healing power of herbs – Ceres Esplan
Feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium),Batchelor’s buttons, Nosebleed, Midsummer daisy.
This plant has been much in the public eye as a herb for headaches. It is true that it helps some people, either eaten raw [chopped leaves] or made into a tisane. It can even take away the trial of migraines.
But it is not a specific and just as the causes of headaches are legion, it will depend greatly on the cause of the headache as to whether Feverfew helps or not.
It should be remembered that Feverfew can also act as an aperient [a drug used to relieve constipation]. Infusions are bitter but should be sweetened with a little honey.
