It's an herb used to treat inflammation. A friend was perscribed it for an inflamation condition (not ic) and I'm looking into it a bit more.

I have never heard of it but would be curious if it works for IC. Keep me posted if you would and let me know what you find out.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a friend who takes it to reduce the number of migraines she gets, and she says it has helped.

Fever few is also used to treat migraines with some measure of success not sure on IC. One bad thing though is that chewing the leaves can cause mouth sores. It does come in capsule and dropplet form I believe. Just remember even if it is a herbal that doesn't mean it is safe....It is also a seroius no no for allergy/asthma suffers...it contains Boreol, camphor, parthenolide, pyrethrins (the major allergy culprit), santamarin and terpene. I think that is all and hopefully the breakdown can help you check it out. Let me know too
