Feverfew is perhaps best known for it's ability to ease and even prevent migraines in some people. It is also used for fever, irregular menstrual periods, arthritis, psoriasis, allergies, asthma, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, and nausea and vomiting.

Some people use feverfew for difficulty getting pregnant or fathering a child (infertility). It is also used for anemia, cancer, common cold, earache, liver disease, muscular tension, bone disorders, swollen feet, diarrhea, upset stomach and intestinal gas.

Feverfew is sometimes applied directly to the gums for toothaches or to the skin to kill germs.
