How does feverfew work?

Feverfew contains several biologically active components that have beneficial anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. It appears to inhibit a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines and impairs prostaglandin production as well as the action of neutrophils. These actions help reduce inflammation and are helpful for inflammatory and auto-immune conditions.
