HEAD & BODY
ACHES Since the time of the Greeks and Romans, feverfew
has been used against many problems. It has been used to overcome
the  pain
and discomfort of arthritis. As a bitter herb, feverfew is a
digestant; it helps the stomach to digest the food we eat. It
is also a carminative; in other words, it helps to relieve gas
from the stomach. A Greek physician named this plant feverfew,
because it was the best herb they had for malaria fevers. Many
people have used feverfew for arthritis, female problems and
other ailments. People in Europe and England knew that feverfew
was good for migraine headaches.
About twenty years
ago in England, a coal miner was talking to a doctor who was
a medical board officer. The doctor's wife had suffered from
migraine headaches for years. In the conversation, the miner
told the doctor that he and most of his family and friends chewed
on feverfew leaves to get rid of migraine headaches. The miner
gave the woman some feverfew leaves and she chewed them and got
relief from her headache. Afer about a year, the woman no longer
had any migraine headaches.
The husband told
the incident to a Dr. Johnson who was the head of the migraine
clinic in London, England. Three double-blind studies were done
by Dr. Johnson and his associates, where placebo capsules were
used and fields reversed. The final results showed that feverfew
as a vasodilator was effective against migraine headaches. Most
everyone who took feverfew during the study, or otherwise, showed
improvement. The principal function of LIFEQUEST HERBS' HEAD
