We have become soo acquainted with synthetic medicines such as aspirin that it may be hard to believe that there are plants that do the same things. In our fast food society convenience outweighs safety, rationality and cost. This article is not for the skeptic looking to be convinced, but if we can agree that nature is at least an inspiration for modern technology AND one does not exclude the other THEN please continue! O feverfew, feverfew! wherefore art thou feverfew? For 100s of years feverfew has been used for everything including headaches, infections and reducing fevers, hence the name. Like aspirin feverfew is a blood thinner, which may be beneficial to people prone to strokes and heart attaches in preventing blood clotting. Like any blood thinner feverfew is not recommend prior to surgery since it may result in excessive bleeding. There are differing points of view regarding recommending this herb for pregnant women especially in high dosages that result in anticoagulant properties. In short, pregnant women should limit their consumption of feverfew: similar to the warnings given to pregnant women regarding coffee. Unlike synthetic drugs, you can reduce consumption by diluting the tea. Another huge difference between feverfew and over-the-counter medicine is that feverfew grows naturally and in some places is considered a weed. Out damned weed! Feverfew, or Chrysanthemum parthenium, is indigenous to the region spreading from Eastern Europe through the Middle East. Feverfew grows into a small flowery bush which can grow rapidly more like an uncontrollable weed than a unique medicinal plant. So it is not surprising that this plant can now be cultivated around the world from Europe to the Americas. The herbalist doth protest too much If you have ever talked to a specialist at Supple Skin Boutique, a local herbal blender in Houston Texas, then you have probably heard them say that unlike synthetic extracts many dried plants are multi-beneficial to health. Feverfew is no exception! Another common use of feverfew is as an anti-inflammatory. Some herbalist use blends with fever for arthritis and other forms of inflammation. It is not clear whether the benefits to inflammation associated to feverfew are a product of it's anti-inflammatory products or whether it is a product of it's pain relieving properties. It is clear that feverfew is an important part of natural medicine in human history. Find feverfew in Supple Skin Boutique's Calming herbal teas at HEB.
