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.
