Hi,
I can tell you from my personal experience that I found some relieve
with Feverfew.
This herb has a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine
as a treatment for disorders often controlled by aspirin, such as
fever, headaches and some of the accompanying symptoms such as
nausea and depression.
Recently feverfew has been gaining fame as an effective treatment
for migraine headaches. It may also help ease diseases caused by
chronic inflammation such as arthritis.
It is the combination of ingredients in the feverfew plant that
brings such effective relief. It works to inhibit the release of two
inflammatory substances, serotonin and prostaglandins, both believed
to contribute to the onset of migraines. By inhibiting these amines
as well as the production of the chemical histamine, the herb
controls inflammation that constricts the blood vessels in the head,
and prevents blood vessel spasms which may contribute to headaches.
Feverfew should be taken regularly to receive maximum benefit and
protection from migraines.
The tea, drunk cold, may also relieve skin perspiration associated
with migraines, and has been used to stimulate appetite, and improve
digestion and kidney function.
Clinical tests have shown the use of feverfew may reduce of
frequency and severity of headaches. It may be more effective than
other nonsteroidal antiinflammatories (NSAIDS), like aspirin.
Additional benefits include lower blood pressure, less stomach
irritation and a renewed sense of well-being.
Common Use: The herb has historically been used as remedy for
headache, inflammation and as a general substitute for ailments
treated with aspirin. Its most popular use is for the prevention of
migraine headaches and associated symptoms. Pregnant women should
not use the herb, and some people have developed mouth ulcers or
experienced loss of taste from eating the fresh leaves.
