Description
Small, bushy herb, strongly scented with a height up to 4 feet. The flowers are daisy-like, with white petals and a raised yellow center 1 inch in diameter, clustered together with up to 30 heads.
Common Uses
When the wife of a Welsh doctor ended her 50-year history of migraines with a course of feverfew, a detailed scientific investigation of feverfew got underway, and in clinical trials in Britain during the 1980s the herb was demonstrated to be an effective remedy for migraines.
History
Originally from the Balkan peninsula and western Asia, Feverfew grows wild all over the northern hemisphere.
