Feverfew
What is it?
Member of the same botanical family as daisies and sunflowers.
What does it do?
The active compound in feverfew, called parthenolide, seems to block substances in the body that widen and constrict blood vessels and cause inflammation.
Common Uses
Helps to prevent or reduce the intensity of migraines.
Dosage
250mg a day of a feverfew product standardised to contain at least 0.4% parthenolide is typical.
Caution
Pregnant women should avoid feverfew because it may cause contractions of the uterus. Women who are breastfeeding should not use the herb. Feverfew may inhibit blood clotting, so consult your doctor before using it if you are taking anticoagulant drugs.
Caution - Consult your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have a medical condition or are pregnant.
