Feverfew
for Migraines - Will This Herb Help?
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.

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.
What is the
Best Product to Use for Migraines?
Although this herb works well by itself, a combination product can
produce better results. Migone Plus is one such combination product.
The company that makes it offers a 1 year money-back guarantee on
all the products they produce so you have nothing to lose (except your
migraines).
