Recently, feverfew has been used for migraine headaches and rheumatoid arthritis. <a href="
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/feverfew/" TARGET="_blank"
[1]</a> Standardized preparations could be used in future studies of feverfew for migraines.<a href="

[1]</a> The dried leaves--and sometimes flowers and stems--of feverfew are used to make supplements, including capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts.<a href="
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/feverfew/" TARGET="_blank"
[1]</a> Feverfew has been used for centuries for fevers, headaches, stomach aches, toothaches, insect bites, infertility, and problems with menstruation and labor during childbirth.<a href="

[1]</a> Feverfew has also been used for psoriasis, allergies, asthma, tinnitus (ringing or roaring sounds in the ears), dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.<a href="

Some research suggests that feverfew may be helpful in preventing migraine headaches; however, results have been mixed and more evidence is needed from well-designed studies.<a href="

[1]</a> People who take feverfew for a long time and then stop taking it may have headaches, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, stiff muscles, and joint pain.<a href="
