Feverfew

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a traditional medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens, and is also occasionally grown for ornament. The plant grows into a small bush up to around 46 cm (18 in) high with citrus-scented leaves, and is covered by flowers reminiscent of daisies. It spreads rapidly, and they will cover a wide area after a few years. It is also commonly seen in the literature by its synonyms, Chrysanthemum parthenium and Pyrethrum parthenium. It is also sometimes referred to as bachelor's buttons or featherfew.

Another worldly feel to the day. Needed to escape to a quiet place after work. I fell asleep in the early evening sun till the freshening breeze stirred me from my dreams. The light was fading when I got home, so I have added another medicinal plant.
Like all herbal remedies we should treat them with respect - they can be very powerful and interact with conventional medicine.

Though its earliest medicinal use is unknown, it was documented in the first century (AD) as an anti-inflammatory by the Greek herbalist physician Dioscorides.
The word "feverfew" derives from the Latin word febrifugia, meaning "fever reducer." The plant has been used as a herbal treatment to reduce fever and to treat headaches, arthritism and digestive problems, though scientific evidence does not support anything beyond a placebo effect.
