Is it helpful to use feverfew for migraines? Does it really work? Many clinical
studies done in subjects suffering from migraine headaches show that
feverfew is effective in migraine prevention.
Studies show that this herb is able to reduce the frequency, pain, sensitivity to light, nausea and vomiting. It seemed to work better in those individuals who get migraines more often. There are some studies that showed that taking feverfew was no better than taking a placebo (sugar pill). However, some researchers believed that this was due to the differences in how the herb was harvested and processed. 
Evidence of Benefits (What's this?)
Do we know how it works? Despite continued research study efforts, experts are not certain how feverfew works to prevent migraine attacks.
Are there OTHER effective migraine remedies? Absolutely! See the
article on Migraine Remedies
to discover many natural remedies and supplements that work.
Suggested Doses and Dosage Formulations The
dose used in research studies ranges from 50 to 100 mg of the feverfew
extract taken once daily.
In the studies, subjects had to take the supplement for at least six weeks before many of them could experience significant benefits. It is best to use standardized extracts as there can be significant variations in the amount of the active ingredients between manufacturers. (There are reports of up to a 400% difference!) Dried Fresh Leaves
Use
2 to 3 dried leaves once daily. Or, you can take 125 mg of the dried
leaf powder daily. Typically, these leaves are standardized
against 0.2% of parthenolide found in feverfew.
Freeze-Dried Leaves
Take 50 mg
once daily.
Pure Active Ingredient
Take 250 to
500 mcg of parthenolide once daily.
However, we believe taking the herb would be a much better
choice since parthenolide may not be the chemical responsible for
preventing migraines.
