Nature's Way Feverfew 100 Capsules

Feverfew can help maintain normal blood vessel tone. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) also helps normalize the functions of platelets in the blood system by inhibiting platelet aggregation, reducing seratonin release from platelets and blocking the formation of pro-inflammatory mediators.

Feverfew has also been used for reducing fever, for treating headaches, arthritis and digestive problems. Modern work has supported the use of feverfew as a treatment for migraine headaches. By inhibiting the release of serotonin and prostaglandins, both of which are believed to aid the onset of migraines, feverfew limits the inflammation of blood vessels in the head. This stops the blood vessel spasm many believe contribute to headaches. The active ingredients in feverfew include parthenolide and tanetin, both of which offer relief from migraine.

Feverfew gained popularity in Great Britain in the 1980's as an alternative to conventional medications for migraine headaches. In fact, a survey of 270 migraine sufferers in Great Britain revealed that more than 70% of individuals felt substantially better after ingesting an average of two to three fresh feverfew leaves daily. Since then, several well-designed studies have been conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of feverfew for the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches. Most of these studies have found beneficial results. For example, in a study of 76 migraine sufferers, those who ingested feverfew capsules (70 to 114 mg) daily for 4 months experienced a 24% reduction in attacks and a substantial drop in symptoms that often accompany migraines, such as nausea and vomiting, compared to those who received placebo.

Feverfew should not be used in children under 2 years of age.

In older children, adjust the recommended adult dose of Feverfew to account for the child's weight. Most herbal dosages for adults are calculated on the basis of an average of 150 lb (70 kg) adult. Therefore, if the child weighs 50 lb (20 to 25 kg), the appropriate dose of feverfew for this child would be 1/3 of the adult dosage.

Allergic reactions to feverfew, although rare, have also been reported. In fact, people with allergies to chamomile, ragweed, or yarrow will likely be allergic to feverfew and, therefore, should not take it.

Feverfew may increase your propensity to bleed; therefore, it should be avoided around the time of surgery.

Pregnant and nursing women as well as children under 2 years of age should not take feverfew.

Feverfew can alter the menstrual cycle, so women with a regular menstrual cycle should use with caution.
