Feverfew Leaf Tea

A member of the daisy family, Feverfew (Chrysanthemum 
parthenium) is native to central and southern Europe. It is 
often confused with chamomile because of its similar looking 
flower and is sometimes reffered to as wild chamomile. 

The 
ancient Greek physician Dioscorides valued Feverfew for its 
beneficial properties and it has been a favorite among Europeans 
for centuries. The whole plant is strongly aromatic, rather 
bitter, and does not attract bees. In fact, in the days of old, 
branches of Feverfew were carried around to keep bees at a 
distance and protect from stings.

Sometimes used to flavor 
wines and pastries, the leaves are served with eggs in Italy.
