Feverfew HEALS WHAT!?!? Why We Grow It, Healing Benefits, How to Harvest & How to Dry/ Garden How To

The garden is show casing feverfew this week. (Chrysanthemum Parthenium)
This is a plant that I’ve been very excited about growing and harvesting this year. It’s said to help with migraines, and I have two family members who struggle with migraines. Studies done on feverfew have shown that it helped some, but not all. I’m hoping that feverfew may be that natural plant that could help.
It contains parthenolide, which is an anti inflammatory. Some of it’s other potential uses is for pain relief, improving rosacea, elevating mood and also has anti cancer affects.
Always remember that there may be possible side effects to any medicinal her, but it’s not just a plan, it’s medicine.
Today we are harvesting feverfew’s flowers, leaves and stems.
When we cut, we are leaving about 6” of the plant and foliage, so it can continue to grow and flower again before the end of the season. Then we will be able to cut from it a second time. They have a unique smell, not my favorite, but there are too many benefits that this plant provides to pass it up.
There are many ways to dry your herbs. You can hang them, dehydrate them, put them in the oven on low heat. We love using these large hanging herb driers. When we place the herbs in, we spread them out so they don’t get moldy. Always store and dry feverfew and other herbs in a cool, dry and dark area of your home.

Do not take this if you are pregnant, if you have bleeding disorders or within 2 weeks of having surgery. I just wanted to add this because there is solid medical evidence about it and as a nurse practitioner, I thought it may help. Great video as always!!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Thank you!

Why?

These are a powerhouse as a medicinal herb. I have been growing these for 35 years. I brought one plant with me when we moved to a new area and wow. Not only can you harvest for bouquets, I harvest flower heads, stems and leaves, hang upside down dry. You can hang them in a warm room, laundry rooms work great or I hand them in my greenhouse. Then grind in my spice grinder. Fill capsules and we take it for allergies, migraines, to help lower blood sugar, blood thinner, helps protect skin from harmful UV's, regulates cholesterol and helps prevent cancer. I cut back all the plants at the end of July for one more harvest before our first hard freeze.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Thank you for all of your information! We were looking at where to get capsules, do you have a suggestion?

[@corilou5273]

How do you use it as a skin protectant?

[@johnmuckleroy]

I was told that planted near a beehive that the bees could rid themselves of mites if they crawled around on the feverfew

[@juliegendron2494]

Excited to try fever free for my migraines ..

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! You have collected a lot of flowers! I especially liked your dryer, very interesting and stylish. Wish You happiness and health💐❤️🌻

[@ourcozygarden]

We can't wait to grow them next year. They're perfect on their own or as fillers for bouquets :)

[@PershijsmachnijKherson]

Hello, thanks for the great video, good luck

[@bpmanagement9983]

It also work on menstrual cramp and regulating menstrual cycle. Hard to drink as a tea because the flavor is not the most enjoyable. But worth the sacrifice for the benefits.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!🌿

[@ieshavincechan7310]

Plant it once. Never have to plant again. Zone10b. It really spread all over my yard.

[@kevingallagher4673]

Love it , grow it here in Ireland , great long lasting flower can take over but worth it ....

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

That’s so amazing! Thank you for your information! What is your growing season like in Ireland?

[@marykennedy3351]

Trying feverfew this next year for the first time. Do you know what variety this is? I'm getting Tettra White from Johnny's. Also did this flower in the first year? Thank you for sharing.😊

[@lauraoliver3509]

Feverfew for people with migraines is best taken on a regular basis, as it is more preventative measure, then an active solution.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

yes that’s true👍🌿🌸

[@ellybrierton983]

I do and it works for me!

[@sachihonjothornley9366]

​You take it as needed or regularly for prevention?​@ellybrierton983

[@eatmorebeef824]

I'm interested in your beds. What size are they? And the sides look plastic, but is it just painted wood?

[@tineeazyabuvall151]

It blocks the 5ht2a and 5ht2b receptors.

[@tammyroyal8467]

I'm on Eliquis to prevent blood clots from being diagnosed withafib. So I don't believe I can use this? I'd love to though since it's 100% natural. I'd have to ask my EP to research it since he isn't schooled in homeopathic natural alternatives

[@jktbali]

Do you just throw seeds into the ground? Are these invasive?

[@dharab7768]

Is this plant is available in india

[@rosanna5schmidt732]

I'd like to know how you process the feverfew to make it useable.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

dry it in teas, or capsules, that’s how we are going to try it this fall/winter once it’s dry and we have time to tinker.

[@damarisestrada8197]

It grows wild here on the Prarie. I have some dehydrating now. Do you just make a tea out of it? I have so much pain and inflammation, wonder if it would work for that.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Yes you make tea with it, but it is a little bitter, but the health benefits make it worth it! We’re going to try it in teas and in capsules this fall and winter

[@carolineowen7846]

1gram to 1pint, you can store in the fridge, if you don't use it all at once :)

[@terrycallaghan9584]

I would love to know how u use this in tea or some other ways

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Once we play around with it when it’s dry, we can share that. That will be more towards fall and winter time when we have more time to Tinker

[@carolineowen7846]

1gram to 1pint :)

[@lauriesickles5393]

Does it depend on the variety of feverfew to make the tea?

[@tracycrider7778]

The regular version is best rn until research is done

[@hazelpieters4078]

Can someone with rheumatoid arthritis take it

[@tracycrider7778]

Should be able to Just be mindful of the precautions ❤

[@grounded7362]

What kind of results have you seen with migraine headaches while using feverfew?

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Jason’s mom didn’t use it consistently. So I really can’t claim yea or no. It’s definitely not like popping an advil, instant results, with herbs it’s always gradual. It is more bitter in flavor, but a leaf a day is what you are suppose to consume in order to see results. Sorry I don’t have more of an exact answer for you🌿

[@qassandraable]

It smells like chrysanthemums.

[@Recoveringred]

Those flowers are so beautiful. Are these two year old plants?

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

this is their first year! I cut them the day before I published this video, and there’s already some shoots of flowers coming up again.
