Feverfew Leaf is a good non-drug preventative treatment you may want to explore. Its main uses are for migraines and arthritis. Studies at the London Migraine Clinic have increased interest in this herb. This herb continues to undergo extensive scientific investigation of the parthenolide content, and how it normalizes the function of platelets in the blood system by inhibiting platelet aggregation, reducing serotonin release from platelets and blocking the formation of pro-inflammatory mediators.

Seventy percent of the patients in these studies report fewer attacks of migraines and less painful attacks. Researchers believe that Feverfew prevents the spasms of blood vessels in the head that trigger migraines. This herb also relieves the inflammation associated with arthritis.

Other benefits include:

• Relief from nausea and vomiting
• Improvement of digestion
• More restful sleep
• Relief of dizziness, brain, and nerve pressure.

In regards to dose, NaturalLife, a reputable dietary supplement company, suggested one 380mg capsule, three times a day. Best results are obtained with continuous use.
