The flowers are pollinated by bees. It was once common for gardeners to leave pots of feverfew around the garden to provide shelter for toads which prey on slugs and snails. It has been used as a remedy for migraine and as a tincture for insect bites and stings to relieve pain and reduce swelling. As is the case with most other members of the huge daisy family, the flowers are attractive to insects, although no invertebrates eat its strong-smelling leaves.
