What is feverfew?

Feverfew, scientifically known as Tanacetum parthenium, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Native to Europe and Asia Minor, it has been used for centuries in European herbal tradition. Its bitter-tasting leaves are harvested and dried to make extracts or powders that are presented in capsule form, like this product. The name "feverfew" comes from the Latin febrifugia, meaning "fever reducer," although its traditional use extends far beyond that.

Today, feverfew is consumed primarily as a food supplement to maintain general well-being. NOW Foods vegetable capsules offer a convenient and practical way to incorporate this herb into your daily routine, with 100 units per package for continued use.

Tradition and uses of feverfew

Feverfew has been valued for its traditional properties, especially in the field of women's health and the maintenance of physiological normalcy. Although there are no EFSA-approved health claims for this plant, its historical use supports its popularity as a supplement for well-being.

Many people turn to feverfew as part of a holistic approach to feeling balanced. It is important to remember that food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet, but they can be an ally in your daily life. If you are looking for a natural option with a long history, feverfew is an excellent choice.
