Feverfew

Also known as: Tanacetum parthenium

Feverfew is a daisy-family herb whose leaves contain parthenolide. It is used mainly to prevent migraine, not to treat an attack already in progress.

What it is used for

  • migraine prevention – weak evidence, study results are mixed
  • reducing inflammation – evidence mostly from lab studies

Forms and how they differ

dried leaf in capsules

the most studied form

extract standardised to parthenolide

more consistent active content

combinations with willow or butterbur

evidence for combinations is limited

When to take it

Daily, long term; judge any effect only after 1–3 months.

Pairs well with

Magnesium, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and regular sleep for migraine prevention.

Do not combine / separate

Do not combine with blood thinners, aspirin or other pain and anti-inflammatory medicines without asking your doctor.

Watch out for

Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you are allergic to daisy-family plants (chamomile, ragweed). Before surgery and if you take medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Do not exceed the label dose. Chewing fresh leaves can cause mouth ulcers; stopping suddenly may cause temporary headaches, so taper off gradually.

Practical tip

Keep a migraine diary – it is the only way to see whether feverfew really helps you after a few months.
