Making Invisible Illness Visible
I am starting a thing called #myinvisiblepain !
This is to spread awareness of invisible diseases! Draw a picture, or a digital doodle on a photo to illustrate where your symptoms are!
I know my diagrams will look different on a day to day basis, so I will be making more! Reblog for your spoonie friends and family, or reblog if you are a spoonie yourself!
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium)
Feverfew (also known as featherfew or bachelor’s buttons) is a flowering perennial in the daisy family. It has been grown throughout history for a variety of purposes.
The only medical purposes supported by research are Feverfew’s use at preventing migraine headaches. Some people also believe it has uses as a general tonic, reducing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual cramps and as a mood lifter but little scientific research has been carried out.
It can be prepared by making a tea/infusion of the flowers in boiling water, by drying and crushing the leaves or by eating the leaves fresh. It has a bitter taste.
Should not be consumed while pregnant or by children under 3 years of age.
