Greetings Mistress  Constance--

I have a dear friend who  has suffered from migraines and headaches for much 
of her life; do you know if  using feverfew in tea is more effective than 
using it in capsule  form?

This same friend has also found some temporary releif by rubbing  peppermint 
oil on her temples--she describes it as good enough relief to help  her go to 
sleep at night...

I have heard that the capsule form is just as effective as the  tea.  In both 
cases you have to take it daily to have a good effect.   But those that do 
have noted that they don't have any more migraines at all  (unless they forget a 
day).
 
However, the feverfew sekanjabin does act as an emergency relief.   Those 
that I have given it to report that if they feel one coming on they take a  
teaspoon of it and the migraine stops and goes away. 
 
I don't suffer from them myself but do know that it works on sinus  
headaches.
