Has anyone ever heard of FEVERFEW, an herbal treatment for headaches. If so has it been successful with clusters.

I did read about it, and my husband took it this last cycle- it may help with other headaches but it didn't do anything for his clusters.

It is more effective with migraines and not ch. Becareful of over the counter meds intereracting with meds you may be on now. Usually there interact with antidepressants. Check with your pharmacist to be safe. Same with melatonin.

My doctor told me it works well for other HA's but not CH's. I did try it, did nothing for me.

Try feverfew extract, it's a lot more potent than the leaf. I've been using it for years, I still feel the cycle when it comes around, but I don't feel the pain anymore. You have to start taking it a few weeks before your cycle starts and stay on it until it's over. The stuff may have saved my life.
It's also a natural anti-depressant, keeps me in a good mood. Only down side is that it gives me gas. |
