Tanacetum parthenium
- Feverfew is native to parts of western Asia and the Balkans, but it now grows throughout the world.
- Feverfew is promoted for fevers, headaches, and arthritis; topically (applied to the skin), it’s promoted for toothache and as an antiseptic and insecticide. Feverfew has been called “medieval aspirin” or “aspirin of the 18th century.”
-
- Some clinical studies have looked into feverfew’s use as a remedy for migraine headache. There’s little or no evidence about feverfew for any other health conditions.
