Hey fellow sufferers,
 
Did anybody ever hear of a Herbal Supplement called "FEVERFEW" that promotes "cerebral bloodflow" that appears to help my CH's.

Hi !
I'm new here too and have also tried Feverfew but found it didn't do a damn thing for me, but if it works for you GREAT! I find most meds just work for a while and then quit, but I'm chronic so maybe that's why.
I hope it keeps working for you though because compared to everything else it is cheap with no side effects.
Take care

Click the search button at the top of the page and type in feverfew. It should return quite a few post since it has been discussed here before.  
 
Or click this and type in feverfew. You probably won't find anything since it only mentions migraines and not CH.

Feverfew is well known as a long term prophylactic for (lighter cases of) migraine.
 
Its benefits for CH are not easy to evaluate: It takes several weeks of regular intake to show any effect (at least for M.). It's difficult to decide if the feverfew helped or the cycle came to a natural end if you take it for CH.
 
Add to this the notorious uncertainty about the concentration of the active ingredient in all 'natural'  supplements.
 
And feverfew is not free of side effect, especially watch out for interactions with other medications.
 
Feverfew has been discussed often on CH.com. Below a list of the relevant archive pages. Use the browsers Edit/Find or Edit/search command to find the relevant threads.
 
PDNAD,
Ueli

Hi  terach
 
FEVERFEW  is  a common product over here  ( uk ) in herb shops.  It is widely recommended for help with Migraine, I have no experience of using it.
Feverfew is also  grown as a decorative garden plant !!
 
Sorry no more help than that.

I tried the herbal route... i didnt get any relief.
 
Feverfew tea, pills, etc
 
Melatonin pills... made me sleep but i still got hit with the pain during the night. And depending on how many HA i got during the night, the melatonin just made me that much more groggy in the morning.
