Many readers know the installation Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), a member of the Chrysanthemum family, sometimes keys. It is a happy multi-year with a wealth of white pompon-like flowers, like a shower of small daisies. Feverfew is often mixed bouquets and for me, is the essence of summer.
Others know this plant as a source of products of plant origin release. A traditional use of febrifuge (fever or mitigation), it is clear from its name. It is also very popular remedy for migraine. I have a product Feverfew in my chest in anticipation of the summer with a friend, who is vulnerable to these massive headaches (Pfaffenrath 2002, Murphy 1988).
Now, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have discovered that an extract of Feverfew is effective against a type of human leukemia. Monica L. Guzman, PhD, and Craig T. Jordan, PhD, report Feverfew extracts kill malignant cells more than any treatment you have tried. The active ingredient is parthenolide, one of the nature of Sesquiterpene Lactones in plants. The U.S. National Cancer Institute enough passion for this work, it has in the shortcut to the program, which aims for drugs by the laboratory for human clinical trials as quickly as possible.
