Feverfew, Tanacetum parthenium, also known as Partenelle, is a herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family. It is native to Central Asia and the Mediterranean basin, and is now found in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Feverfew leaves contain sesquiterpene lactones, including parthenolide, which is thought to be the main active pain-relieving molecule.
Feverfew is traditionally used for headache prevention, premenstrual syndrome and joint comfort.
