Feverfew seed pack
Feverfew is a low-maintenance, easy plant to grow. It can be sown indoors anytime from early spring, or sown directly outdoors once the soil has warmed up a bit. Scatter seeds on the surface and press into the soil; do not cover with soil as the seed requires light to germinate and keep damp. Transplant or thin with a spacing of 30cm between plants. It is a sun-loving plant that – once established – can tolerate long periods without watering.
Uses and benefits:
Use Feverfew wherever there is inflammation or heat. This is notable for use in headaches and migraines with sensitivity to light and heat. It may also be of use in allergies as it inhibits histamine secretion. Its interface with the arachidonic inflammation modulating pathway reveal its use for early-onset arthrtic issues. And, of course, its name tells us that it has been used to clear fevers, as many true bitter herbs do.
Feverfew contains a sesiquterpene lactone constituent known as parthenolide, which is believed to be one of the ingredients involved in the anti-inflammatory and migraine preventing properties of the herb. However, it breaks down rather rapidly once the plant is harvested or extracted and this may be why feverfew leaves work best for migraines in the fresh form.
