Migraines are notoriously intractable to treatment, and conventional painkillers often do more harm than good. Folk medicine, however, has a long tradition of using feverfew as a headache remedy.

Unlock the secrets of feverfew in this concise guide.

These handy pocket-sized guides introduce readers to the vast and varied world of herbs and instruct them on the phenomenal curative powers of herbs. Each book offers easy-to-prepare herbal remedies, plant profiles with tips on usage and side effects, retail herb sources, a bibliography of further reading, and a listing of other resources.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has been known for centuries as the best cure for the worst headaches. Migraine sufferers who have been disappointed by orthodox treatments report substantial relief when they use feverfew. The herb has been found to be effective for arthritis, stress, and premenstrual tension as well.

Feverfew has for many years been used to treat migraine, and has recently been found to help with arthritis and other health problems. Dr Johnson gives a balanced account of the research into feverfew, and its gradual acceptance into orthodox medicine. He evaluates the claims for its effectiveness, gives you an idea of what you might hope for from using it, suggests a few things to watch out for, and offers a list of do's and don'ts for the best use of feverfew. A safe and reliable guide to this increasingly popular remedy.
