Butterburr (scientific name: Petasites hybridus) is a perennial herb that has been used traditionally in Europe and parts of Asia for several centuries to treat a variety of ailments including migraines.

Key benefits & Uses of Butterbur Include:

Migraine Prevention: Perhaps the most well-documented use of butterbur is its effectiveness in reducing the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. Studies have suggested that certain compounds in butterbur can help prevent migraines by influencing the blood flow to the brain and reducing inflammation.

Antihistamine Properties: Butterbur has been used to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion. It is believed to work as an antihistamine, helping to reduce the body's reaction to allergens. Although for allergies we highly suggest our Allergy Assassin spray which can be used on a more long term basis than Butterburr can.

Antispasmodic Effects: Butterburr has been used to alleviate spasms and inflammation in smooth muscle tissue, which makes it potentially useful in treating conditions like asthma and bronchitis.

PA FREE

It's important to note that while butterbur can be very effective, it must be used with caution due to the presence of potentially toxic alkaloids called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in raw and unprocessed butterbur plants. PA-free butterbur supplements are processed to remove these harmful substances and are considered safe for use. Always ensure that any butterbur supplement you use is labeled as "PA-free." As with any supplement, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting to use butterbur, particularly for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have underlying health conditions.

CAUTIONS:

Butterburr should only ever be used when really needed as an all natural pain & migraine reliever. It is not meant for long term use.

IMPORTANT!! Butterburr contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). These can create liver damage if the herb is not used properly.
