Feverfew

Feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium / Tanacetum parthenium) is a classic cottage garden herb that’s been cultivated for centuries for both its cheerful daisy-like flowers and its traditional medicinal use — particularly as an herbal remedy associated with migraine prevention and fever reduction.
