Feverfew (Tanecetum
parthenium) is a well-known medicinal herb and one of
the most widely respected in the prophylactic (preventative) treatment of
migraine and chronic headache. There are many clinical studies to support
its effectiveness in significantly reducing or completely eliminating the
occurrence and the severity of chronic headache and migraine. Scientific
research has demonstrated that Feverfew contains a range of compounds
called sesquiterpene lactones, the principle ingredient being parthenolide.
Parthenolide has been scientifically shown to prevent excessive clumping
of blood platelets and to reduce the release of certain pain inducing
chemicals and inflammatory compounds. It has also been shown to make
smooth muscle in the walls of cerebral blood vessels less reactive to vaso-constrictors
- thereby relaxing constricted blood vessels and increasing blood flow to
the brain.
