DH has bought me some feverfew capsules to help,with my headaches/migraines.

Does anyone have any experience of this or know of any common side effects?

I've had very positive experiences with feverfew - it was the only thing that worked for my migraines, both preventing them and stopping them in their tracks once they'd started.

IIRC it can cause blistering in the mouth but I never had anything like that, and sometimes I would eat the fresh leaves. Best check carefully to see if there are any interactions, though.

They didn't touch my migraines! (But everyone is different and definitely worth giving them a go imo). I didn't have any side effects.

I think I read something that it can sensitise the skin in the sun.
