Used for the treatment of headaches for over 2,000 years, the plant has been cultivated in other parts of Europe for centuries, and is now a common plant throughout Europe. Feverfew is also found in North and South America, feverfew flowers look very similar to chamomile except the yellow middle is flat instead of cone-shaped. The leaves look very much like chrysanthemum leaves
