Feverfew HEUMANN 200 mg - For the prevention of migraine-like headaches

Throbbing or pounding headaches that worsen with the slightest movement. Often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light, and not infrequently lasting for days – if you're reading this, you're probably all too familiar with this. But there is a herb that can help with migraine symptoms. Feverfew HEUMANN is a traditional herbal medicine for preventing migraine-like headaches – before the pain even starts.

Migraines and their symptoms are usually triggered by so-called trigger factors. Here is a list of the most common triggers:

• Stress & emotional strain
• Irregular daily routine, e.g., skipping meals
• Alcohol, nicotine, certain foods such as cheese
• Fluctuations in caffeine levels with regular coffee consumption
• Weather and altitude changes
• Light, noise, or strong odors
• Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle

Serotonin plays a central role in the development of migraine. It is known that a high serotonin concentration in the blood can promote the development of migraine with aura [1]. The parthenolides contained in feverfew, in turn, can inhibit the release of serotonin via various pathways and thus counteract the development of migraine [2,3] .
