The Feverfew: an anti-migraine, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory plant.
The Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) in the ancient Greeks was a plant used to treat fever, asthma, gynecological problems, repel insects and treat bites and bites.
In the 18th century the plant was known as “medieval aspirin”.
Its extracts are mainly useful in the prevention of headaches and in the treatment of menstrual pain.
In fact, feverfew contains flavonoids, such as quercetin and luteolin, which have spasmolytic action (calms muscle contractions from spasms) on the smooth muscles of the gastroenteric tract.
Compounds such as partenolide modulate the functions of the serotonin system, which is why it is believed to prevent migraines.
As an anti-inflammatory it is used in the treatment of arthritic pain and contains an essential oil with spasmolytic action (which calms spasms) and is therefore indicated in premenstrual syndromes: It relaxes the smooth uterine muscles and is a valuable aid in case of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation).
The dry extract of Feverfew is contained in the supplement NOPIAN PLUS
