Pain Reliever
Feverfew's well established
pain-relieving effects appear to be primarily associated with its anti-inflammatory
activity, inhibition of platelet aggregation and regulation of smooth
muscle function. Feverfew has been used both traditionally and in scientific
research as an effective remedy for migraine headaches. It also shows
benefit in helping reduce arthritis pain.
Anti-inflammatory
Extracts of feverfew have
the ability to inhibit the manufacture of compounds that promote inflammation,
including inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Scientific evidence
points to a measurable benefit in treating arthritic inflammation.
Fever Reducing
As the name suggests,
feverfew has been used as a traditional remedy for lowering fevers -
an effect primarily due to inhibiting the activity of certain prostaglandins.
