Tanacetum Parthenium - Feverfew in India
Tanacetum parthenium – Feverfew is a flowering plant of the Asteraceae

Its name comes from the Latin word febrifugia, meaning “fever reducer.” The feverfew herb has a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine, especially among Greek and early European herbalists. It is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of fevers, migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach aches, toothaches, insect bites, infertility, and problems with menstruation and labor during childbirth.

Feverfew has also been used for psoriasis, allergies, asthma, tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. It has
multiple pharmacologic properties, such as anticancer,
anti-inflammatory, cardiotonic and antispasmodic. The plant is widely cultivated to large regions of the world, and now tanacetum parthenium feverfew is available in India also. Its importance as a medicinal plant is growing substantially with increasing and stronger
