Might help, can't hurt.

Item I caught on the TV this evening regarding a product that assists some people in the management of migraine and tension headache. CH was never mentioned and before anyone asks, no, I don't have shares in the company.
Feverfew has long been used in headache treatment and that's apparently all this is, in capsule form. Works out around three cents a day.
Put your pointy sticks away, ladies, I pass this on purely as general information.

If you have it in the garden my book of herbs just says to put some leaves in a sandwich but..IMHO it tastes like s$$t!! capsules may be better

Hey AussieBrain
I've tried it, me a herbal organic freak. Like with Ian, didn't work for me but then again maybe we CHers must take the dosage like we take all other meds... in huge quantities?
Beasty, you are not supposed to smoke your all meds 
BTW Mr Brain man, I'll clobber you any day just for the fun of it, my stick is always by my side, how's the book coming along?

I tried feverfew a few years ago, when I was going through my nuts and berries stage, It didn't touch the clusters and yes, it tasted like something one owuld wipe off the bottom of their shoe.
However, for migraines, and tension headaches, my friends who have those say it helps.

Way, way back in the last century, during the early days of CH.com, Feverfew was discussed at length.
If I remember correctly it was decided that Feverfew would kill the mold & mildew from the gut and some said their toenail fungus went away.
But the clusters remained.
