Why take Feverfew?

Many people who have suffered from migraine claim to have benefitted from taking Feverfew. Some have found that they don't need to take it continually - a course of up to three months duration will leave them migraine-free for long periods of time before they have to take more Feverfew.   

The comments of migraine sufferers who have found relief with Feverfew were borne out in a Clinical Trial held at the City of London Migraine Clinic - 70% of the patients who took Feverfew during this research said that the herb either prevented or lessened the severity of their headaches as well as other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
A full scientific trial carried out by doctors at Nottingham University Hospital on 60 migraine sufferers proved its efficacy. Those people taking feverfew had 25% fewer migraine attacks and suffered less nausea and vomiting during attacks. They noticed that they felt better when taking the herb, which was effective for classical as well as for other types of migraine   

How does Feverfew work?

The Feverfew plant has been used for centuries to relieve migraine, but scientific studies have only recently shown how it works. Migraine pain is caused by the constriction and swelling of blood vessels in the head that are partly triggered off by the body chemical called Serotonin reducing the flow of blood to the brain. Feverfew has a natural chemical called Parthenolide that inhibits the release of Serotonin from small cells called Platelets, thereby allowing a more regular blood flow.   

Is Feverfew safe to take?

Feverfew is generally regarded as a safe non-addictive herb with acknowledged medicinal properties. It has been taken on a daily basis by many thousands of people in this country, Europe and North America for a number of years. A relatively few people find that Feverfew can cause slight mouth ulcers or itchiness of the skin. These symptoms tend to disappear within 24 hours of discontinuing the taking of the herb.
Dr. Stewart Johnson (formerly of the City of London Migraine Clinic) who proposed research into using Feverfew for the treatment of migraine, has completed investigation into the safety of taking Feverfew. These tests, which were looking at whether Feverfew causes changes in the chromosomes - the structure in our cells which carry our genes - proved negative, giving further evidence that Feverfew is a safe substance even when taken over a long period of time.
However as with all medicines, pregnant and lactating women are advised not to take Feverfew without first consulting their doctor.
