Anyone tried Feverfew?
HI. My friend has recently tried Feverfew for a rare type of migraine with some success. I have migraines with headaches, fatigue, muscle aching and some nausea. Has anyone had success with this herbal supplement? Thanks
Hi HeatherAnne,
Great question! Yes, I've heard from a number of people who've added feverfew to their migraine protocol with good results. A word of caution - it's imperative to speak with your doctor before starting any "natural" supplement. Even though they are thought to be "natural" they still may interact with other medications and conditions we have.

I tried feverfew for 8 weeks with no improvement in my migraine experience. It may well work for others, though. Good luck!
Hi glassmind,
Sorry to hear that. I did want to let you know it can take up to 90 days when we start new medications and/or supplements before we see a reduction in migraine attack frequency and severity.
Maybe give it a bit more time?
Wishing you a low pain day,

Heather Ann,
I used to have a doctor that suggested that I try feverfew, but I felt awful on it.Here is a link to an article that has some good information about who should not take feverfew. I would suggest talking to your doctor first as well. Be sure to tell your doctor what you are allergic to. Personally I can’t take it because I’m allergic to ragweed.
