Feverfew is one of the herbals that can be successfully used in pain relief and is especially effective for migraine headaches. This is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and North America, which has been used in folk medicine to relieve many types of pain for hundreds of years. The flowers of this plant are similar to a daisy and have a strong odor.
There have been studies done for migraine headache pain using this herbal supplement that showed it could be successful in relieving this type of pain. However, it is also a useful herbal for use in relieving gas pain, menstrual pain and as an anti-inflammatory for arthritis, due to the properties that are naturally found in feverfew.
This is an herbal supplement that while it is a pain reliever should not be used by some people, it can be especially dangerous for people that are taking blood thinners or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Prior to beginning the use of feverfew as a pain reliever it is important to speak with the physician when taking pain medication or other drugs to ensure there are no drug interactions. |
