Menstrual cramps occur when the uterine lining produces too much prostaglandin, a hormone that can cause pain and inflammation.

Feverfew has also been used for relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis. It is known that chemicals in feverfew may reduce the body’s production of substances that initiate and prolong inflammation, which is the body’s response to irritation, injury, or infection.

Chemicals in feverfew are thought to prevent blood components called platelets from releasing inflammatory substances. Feverfew may also reduce the body’s production of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances made in the body and involved in regulating a number of body functions including blood pressure, blood vessel tone, and temperature, as well as inflammation. All of these effects could help relieve fever, arthritis, and migraines.
