Definition: Used to treat many of the same disorders aspirin is used for, this herb is most widely known for its therapeutic application for migraine headaches, fever and for arthritis. Folk literature is full of praise for its ability to calm inflammation and treat pain.

Application: Asthma, inflammatory conditions, arthritis, menstrual pain, migraine headaches and fever.

Scientific Updates: This herb contains a group of chemicals called sesquiterpene lacones which are bitter compounds which inhibit prostaglandin production in the body and decrease histamine release; two functions which cause the inflammatory response.

Safety: Because it acts similarly to salicylates found in aspirin, it is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women or for children. In addition, anyone taking blood thinners should not use this herb.

Complementary Agents: White willow, vitamin C, proanthocyanidins, bioflavonoids, marine lipids and garlic.
