Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium)
Medicinal plant used since antiquity, feverfew would be effective in the prevention of migraine as well as in reducing the strength and frequency of attacks. The leaves and flowers are eaten as an herbal tea. Its use is not recommended for pregnant women. Caution Do not confuse with the chamomile Matricaria recutita and the Roman chamomile Chamaemelum nobile which have very different medicinal properties.
