Feverfew
Traditional Herbal Support for Migraines & Inflammatory Tension
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a well-known traditional herb used for centuries to support head pain, tension, and inflammatory discomfort—especially when symptoms are cyclical or recurrent.
Historically valued for migraine support, feverfew works by helping to calm inflammatory pathways and support healthy blood vessel tone. Many people turn to feverfew as part of a daily wellness routine to reduce the frequency and intensity of recurring headaches over time.
