Feverfew

A plant originally native to Europe. 

It is now common throughout North America, mostly in gardens. However, it does occasionally wild near old homesteads.

Good for migraines, fevers, irregular menstruations, stomach upset and arthritis. Although, it is not reccommended for anyone pregnant or breast feeding.

Early herbalists thought of it as a general strengthener of the womb.

I have also seen that it can be used as a bug spray

Often mistaken for Chamomile due to it’s small white flowers and yellow centre.
