Feverfew is popular for migraines and tension headaches and is a remedy for all pains of the head. Its name comes from its traditional use as a remedy for fevers.
 
Feverfew, when taken regularly can help prevent migraines and lessen their severity, note that it is not very effective if it is taken once the migraine has already started. 
 
If you have this plant in your garden, eating 2 to 3 fresh leaves daily is also another dosage form.
