Feverfew supplements significantly reduce migraines - February 27, 2006

The herb feverfew is a traditional herbal remedy for preventing migraine headaches, and many scientific studies have confirmed its benefits. In the latest study, researchers found that a proprietary standardized extract of feverfew significantly reduced the frequency of migraine headaches.

Hans-Christoph Diener, MD, PhD, from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, and colleagues treated 170 patients with either feverfew supplements or placebos for 16 weeks. The feverfew dosage was 6.25mg three times daily.

Diener reported that patients taking feverfew had a decrease of five to three monthly migraine headaches. Although patients taking placebos also had a decrease in migraine headaches, feverfew was three and a half times more effective. Patients taking placebos experienced slightly more side effects.
