A tincture made from Feverfew and applied locally immediately relieves the pain and swelling caused by bites of insects and vermin. A tincture of the leaves of the true Chamomile and of the German Chamomile will have the same effect. Planted round dwellings, it is said to purify the atmosphere and ward off disease. An infusion of the flowers, made with boiling water and allowed to become cold, will allay any distressing sensitiveness to pain in a highly nervous subject, and will afford relief to the face-ache or earache of a dyspeptic or rheumatic person. Organic fresh budding herb.
Fresh leaves are tonic to prevent migraines.
