Feverfew: The Chronic Migraine Remedy

Unlock the Power of Feverfew: Nature’s Migraine Warrior

For centuries, feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has been a trusted ally in traditional medicine, harnessing its potent anti-inflammatory properties to combat a myriad of ailments. This unassuming daisy family member has been quietly working wonders, from easing feverish symptoms to soothing the debilitating pain of migraines and tension headaches.

The Magic Behind Feverfew

At the heart of feverfew’s remarkable benefits lies a powerful compound called parthenolide, nestled within its leaves. This natural wonder has been clinically proven to reduce migraine attacks by:

Blocking serotonin and prostaglandin receptors, the brain chemicals that trigger blood vessel dilation during a migraine episode
Preventing blood platelets from releasing inflammatory molecules, thereby reducing pain and discomfort
Stopping blood vessels in the brain from widening, a key factor in migraine development
Decreasing spasms of vascular smooth muscles, further alleviating migraine symptoms

But parthenolide isn’t the only hero in feverfew’s arsenal. Tanetin, another potent compound found in the plant’s leaves, flowers, and seeds, also blocks prostaglandin synthesis, amplifying feverfew’s anti-inflammatory effects.

A Modern Miracle: Feverfew’s Role in Migraine Prevention

In 1978, a groundbreaking account of feverfew’s efficacy in preventing migraines was shared in a British health magazine. A 68-year-old woman, plagued by severe migraines since age 16, found remarkable relief after incorporating three feverfew leaves into her daily routine. After 10 months, her migraine attacks had ceased completely.

Today, feverfew is recognized for its multifaceted benefits, extending beyond migraine prevention to:

Easing rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
Soothing digestive issues and toothaches
Calming insect bites and skin irritations
Supporting heart health and cancer treatment
Alleviating menstruation and respiratory issues
Combating dizziness and more

Harness the Natural Power of Feverfew

As the world turns to nature for answers, feverfew stands out as a shining example of Mother Nature’s pharmacy. With its rich history, potent compounds, and impressive range of benefits, feverfew is an herb worth exploring for those seeking relief from migraines, inflammation, and beyond.

Ingredients:

80 Proof vodka
2 Parts lemon balm
1 Part feverfew

Instructions:

Finely chop the fresh herbs.

3. Add the herbs to the mason jar.

Place the lid on the jar and shake until well mixed.

7. Shake the jar daily.

8. After steeping, strain the mixture through cheesecloth of fine strainer and discard herbs.

9. Store in tincture in dark bottles or in a cool dark place.

Dosage:

I/2 teaspoon when you feel the onset of a migraine. Repeat every 30-60 minutes until you feel the symptoms dissipate. Because of the inclusion of alcohol, ask a doctor’s advice before you administer it to a child.
