Feverfew Description
Common names :Bride's Button ,Compositae , Featherfew ,Featherfoil ,Febrifuge Plant , Wild Chamomile
Feverfew is a traditional medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens, and is also occasionally grown for ornament. The word "feverfew" derives from the Latin word febrifugia, meaning "fever reducer." The plant has been used as a herbal treatment to reduce fever and to treat headaches, arthritis and digestive problems, though scientific evidence does not support anything beyond a placebo effect.
