  1. After 3 days of yet another migraine, I same-day ordered some feverfew capsules. I thought I had read somewhere that it can take a couple of months to work, but I read Amazon reviews that said it works right away. I hadn't tried it before since I was concerned about allergic reactions.

    Well, I seemed to get almost immediate relief and so far no sign of allergic reaction. My plan is to take it according to the instructions on the bottle - 1 capsule 3x per day.

    I hope this works.

  2. I knew we'd got some #feverfew growing in our #wildflower bed. I could see that they were blooming, so I went out to look at them and *just lookit these flowers!!* I've never seen this variety before.

  3. @Zenbuffy For me: #aura for about 30mins: flashing lights, and loss of one side of my visual field. Followed by one sided #headache & general physical collapse for 12-24 hours. Best remedy for me, during the event is #sleep , lots of it. Cannot stay awake.
    Took #feverfew daily for several years, which helped lessen the frequency and severity.
    Am down to v. sporadic episodes now, one in 12-18 months.

  4. Feverfew appears in the Lacnunga, an Old English medicinal text. A healer would boil feverfew, red nettles and plantain in butter, and speak the invocation from the Lacnunga. Then they would dip a knife into the liquid. This should alleviate the stitch, an example of sympathetic magic. A stitch feels like a stabbing pain. If we soothe a stabbing implement, then we should soothe the stitch.
