 feverfew for migraines

I heard a short blurb on the news yesterday about an herb called feverfew (?)
that some say is good for preventing migraines. I think the news said there
were two double-blind studies that found this effective.

Does anyone know about these studies? Or have experience with feverfew?
I'm skeptical, but open to trying it if I can find out more about this.
What is feverfew, and how much would you take to prevent migraines (if
this is a good idea, that is)? Are there any known risks or side effects
of feverfew?

Thanks in advance for any info!

I've tried it, and so has one friend of mine.  No known side effects or
risks.  It didn't seem to work for us, but several studies now have
suggested it does work for many people, so I think it's worth a try.

You can find it in capsule form at health cooking.net">food stores.  Up to six capsules
a day was recommended, if I remember correctly.  It can also be prepared
as a tea.

Good luck,

John

I keep an accurate log of my migraine attack frequency; feverfew didn't
seem to do anything for me.  However, eliminating caffeine seems to pre-
vent the onset of migraine in my case.  In other words, no caffeine, no
migraines.
