Feverfew
Feverfew is a perennial plant with small yellow flowers that look like daisies. The plant originated in Asia and the Balkans but grows in gardens and along roadsides. It was once called medieval aspirin because it was used for so many medicinal purposes, such as lowering fevers and alleviating menstrual disorders.
Some people take feverfew supplements for migraines, tension headaches or digestive conditions. It may provide relief for these conditions due to its natural anti-inflammatory and painkilling effects.4Pareek, Anil, et al. ‘Feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium L.): A Systematic Review.’ Pharmacognosy Reviews, Medknow Publications Pvt Ltd, Jan. 2011, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210009/ It also has blood thinner qualities.
