Feverfew has been used for centuries in Europe and the Middle East, particularly in monastic and communal gardens. Renowned for its calming properties, it is traditionally an ingredient in herbal teas intended to relieve nervous tension, headaches, or promote restful sleep.

Its aromatic leaves and dried flowers were also used in macerations or poultices, sometimes in skincare or family medicine. It is often associated with the wisdom of simple remedies, passed down from generation to generation in the European countryside.

Even today, feverfew retains its place in gentle herbal practices and in a holistic approach to well-being, while also beautifying the garden with its sensory, symbolic and living qualities.
