Lavender and Feverfew Head Pain Remedy

Feverfew and Lavender.  Lovely garden friends.  So many fantastic uses for both.  A favorite of mine is to ease headaches and migraines.  Feverfew is to be avoided in pregnancy.  And one should consult their health care providers before using them medicinally.

These plants are best used fresh but can be frozen to use during off seasons.  They should be harvested leaf, stem, and flowers when the flowers are young.

Feverfew is most effective when chewed and lavendar when made into a tea or infusion. Feverfew can be made into capsules, if the taste is objectionable. Just a few leaves and flowers of both or either tend to be enough to alleviate the pain.
