Feverfew Prevents Migraines

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium L.) offers a headache remedy that dates back to Ancient Greece. The plant’s dried leaves and aerial parts make a pain-killing tea that can prevent migraines by supporting blood circulation and reducing vascular smooth muscle spasms, as well as by several other mechanisms. NutraHead tea blend contains Feverfew and other herbs that promote mental clarity and relaxation. It’s the perfect tea for migraine-sufferers and people who live hectic, mentally-taxing daily lives. Feverfew also reduces menstrual pain and helps regulate menstrual cycles. That’s why NutraTea herbalists included it in NutraMeno tea, a blend of Feverfew and other herbs that support comfortable, healthy menstruation. Additionally, Feverfew promotes heart health and lowers inflammation. 

It contains:

• Parthenolide and other sequiterpene lactones 
• Flavonoids like Apigenin, luteolin, quercetin
• Essential oils chrysanthenyl acetate, camphor, borneol, and pinene

Feverfew Prevents Migraines 

Feverfew won’t make an existing migraine disappear, but taken ahead of time, it can prevent one from developing. Enjoy a cup of NutraHead tea and enlist Feverfew’s help in keeping headaches far away. Feverfew prevents migraines by relaxing blood vessels, preventing cardiovascular tension that can lead to headaches. Its antispasmodic effect decreases vascular smooth muscle spasms. Its power to prevent migraines is due to several specific bioactive constituents. The most important of which are its thirty separate sesquiterpene lactones. The most important one is parthenolide, which comprises 85% of the thirty. Its constituents chrysanthenyl acetate and the lipophilic flavonoid tanetin reduce pain and inhibit synthesis of prostaglandin and serotonin, both of which play a role in causing migraines. Feverfew also has a high concentration of melatonin, which is associated with less frequent migraines. This member of the daisy family also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help to reduce the frequency of migraines and headaches. Also, it inhibits the production of prostaglandins and serotonin, both of which play a role in causing migraines. 

Menstrual Health 

Feverfew can ease menstrual discomfort and help regulate cycles. It has antispasmodic and painkilling properties, which provide relief from period cramps. Headache is a common symptom of PMS and a side effect of menstruation, so Feverfew comes in handy. NutraMeno tea has your back, every month. 

Fights Inflammation

This herbaceous perennial also lowers inflammation, thanks again to its constituent parthenolide. It reduces levels of inflammatory cytokines and helps protect cells and tissues against oxidative damage. This also contributes to its analgesic, or pain relieving effects. This, in addition to the way it increases sweating, is the root of its name. Traditionally, it was used as a remedy to bring down fevers. Incorporating anti-inflammatory herbs like Feverfew into your diet can help prevent inflammation-related chronic diseases. 

Promotes Heart Health 

Feverfew’s relaxing effect on blood vessels can inhibit platelet activity. It has anti-thrombotic action because it prevents blood clots blocking veins or arteries, a potentially fatal occurrence known as thrombosis. Don’t use Feverfew if you are on any anticoagulant medication.

Fever Reducer

This medicinal herb is native to Asia Minor and  the Balkans. Now it grows throughout most of Europe, the Americas, and worldwide along the sides of roads and the borders of woods, and in fields. Its name derives from the Latin word febrifugia, meaning “fever reducer.” Dioscorides, the first-century Greek physician, prescribed feverfew for “all hot inflammations.” The ancient Greeks called the herb “Parthenium” because, according to some accounts, it saved the life of someone who fell during the construction of the Parthenon in 5th century BC. Feverfew’s  flowers resemble those of Chamomile or Daisy, but give off a strong, bitter odor. In fact, its bitter-smelling flowers are often made into a tincture can repel insects and help heal insect bites.
