 Feddygen fenyw ( Welsh)



Feverfew, also known as Featherfew and Bachelor's buttons, is native to southern Europe. It is commercially cultivated in Japan, Africa and Europe. Greek and European herbalists traditionally used it to reduce fevers. 
The herb has a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine as a treatment for disorders often controlled by aspirin, such as fever, headaches and some of the accompanying symptoms such as nausea and depression.
