Feverfew
is native to southern Europe, but is widely spread through
out the world. It is a perennial plant with branched hairy
stems and fan shaped yellow-green leaves with a bitter pungent
scent. The flat daisy-like flowers appear mid summer to mid
autumn.
Feverfew has maintained a reputation for treating indigestion,
sleeplessness and headaches. It also reduces and helps prevent
fevers, dilates the blood vessels, relieves pain, kills and
helps expel worms and stimulates the stomach.
Feverfew
has insecticidal properties. Dabbed on the skin a solution
of feverfew is said to be an effective insect repellent, and
relieves painful bites and stings.
