Old herbalists used feverfew to help expel the placenta after childbirth and in cases of stillbirth. Feverfew was used as a laxative and as a sedative. It was also used to encourage the menstrual flow.
Coughs and wheezing were treated with it, as were colic, flatulence and indigestion. Feverfew was also used in the treatment of headaches and in nervous complaints. It was recommended as a tonic and as a riser of the spirits.
Earache and insect and vermin bites were thought to be eased by the application of feverfew.
