QUESTION: Feverfew

ANSWER: Long used as dry leaves in tea to treat inflammation and swelling, and highly lauded as a migraine preventive, feverfew (the herb Tanacetum parthenium) reportedly helps many people. It's usually taken in capsule form. Follow the recommendations on the bottle for dosage.

Feverfew doesn't work for everyone (of course, neither does anything else). When you stop taking it, you may get jittery and have trouble sleeping for a while.
