🌼 Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) — Tradition meets science 🌿

Feverfew is one of those herbs with a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. Folk herbalists in Europe have used it for generations to support the body through feverish conditions, tension, headaches, and discomfort associated with inflammation and digestive upset. Its botanical name even reflects its traditional use — “fever-few,” meaning little fever for reducing fevers.

Traditionally, feverfew has been used to:

🌿 Support head comfort – Often turned to for recurring headaches and tension
🌿 Ease inflammatory discomfort – Traditionally used to support joint and muscle comfort
🌿 Support circulation – Believed to assist healthy blood flow and balance
🌿 Digestive support – Historically used to settle the stomach and support gentle digestion
🌿 Women’s wellbeing – Traditionally included in herbal practices for cyclical balance

But what does science say?

🔬 Research highlights: ✅ Migraine support — Several clinical studies suggest that feverfew may help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. In one review of trials, individuals taking feverfew experienced slightly fewer migraines per month versus placebo.

✅ Anti-inflammatory compounds — Feverfew contains sesquiterpene lactones (like parthenolide) and flavonoids, which laboratory research shows may have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects — supporting why it was traditionally used for pain and discomfort.

✅ Traditional use validated — The European Medicines Agency recognizes feverfew for traditional use in migraine prevention, drawing on centuries of practice and some clinical evidence.

Hi, I’m Bridget 🌿
The soul behind The Rural Herbalist, mumma to four wild, wonderful humans, and a lifelong block owner living the good kind of chaos.

Herbs have always been part of my life — growing them, harvesting them, learning their ways, and turning them into remedies that support real people in real life. From muddy boots to chamomile harvests, this is slow, intentional living rooted in nature and care.

Every product I create is made with heart, purpose, and a deep respect for the plants themselves. I don’t just make remedies — I share pieces of my life, my land, and my journey with you.

Thank you for trusting me with your wellbeing, for supporting small, and for choosing natural where you can 🤍
This is herbal living, the rural way.
