Butterbur (Petasites hypridus) is a herb used
mainly to treat headaches and seasonal allergies. There are two kinds of
Butterbur plants which look almost identical. Make sure to use the one that
contains petasin. Petasin is described as a bitter tasting compound found
in the Butterbur plant. Migraine, headache and hay fever sufferers will greatly
appreciate the discernment. Displayed as a pink flower stalk with lilac and
very soft reddish flowers as well as rhubarb-like leaves, Butterbur is native
to mainland Europe, Asia and North America.
The best environment for growth and survival are marshes, wet meadows, damp
roadsides, riverbanks and ditches.
Latin Name
Petasites hybridus
Common Names
Common butterbur, sweet coltsfoot, blatterdock,
bogshorns, butter-dock, butterfly dock, capdockin, flapperdock, langwort,
umbrella plant.
Headache and inflammation, severity of migraines,
seasonal allergies such as itchy eyes, itchy and runny nose, and nasal
congestion.
Properties
Anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, cardio tonic,
diaphoretic, diuretic, and leaves that function as an analgesic.
Historically, in the sixteenth century, Butterbur
as a dried powder was mixed with wine to fight in the battle against the plague
and other virulent diseases. It was also used as a treatment for worms as a
form of diuretic, the spurring on of menstruation, and by Native Americans as a
herbal remedy for headache and inflammation. Other uses were for urinary tract
issues, wound healing and back pain. Butterbur has been in use for over 2,000
years. The name Butterbur comes from the use of wrapping butter in its large
leaves during the warm weather.
Studies show that Butterbur is currently most
effective for the treatment of headaches and inflammation, severity of
migraines and hay fever. It is important to note that Butterbur has not been
proven to treat all allergies, only seasonal allergies which include itchy eyes
and noses, sneezing, runny noses and nasal congestion. Additional research is
necessary to determine if Butterbur is safe and can eventually be used for
year-round allergies such as mold, dust or animal dander.
Each part of the Butterbur plant is very
important. The leaves, roots, flowers and stems are all used for medicinal
purposes in some way. For example, when taken orally, studies show a specific
extract from the root of the Butterbur over a four month period can lessen the
relentlessness of headache pain and the duration of these headaches as they
occur. The leaf extract of Butterbur decreases nose discomfort.
Butterbur can be taken in several different
forms. It can be eaten, given as a powder, in pill form, in tea or as a
tincture. However, it is very imperative to note that Butterbur contains
pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are toxic chemicals. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids
are created by plants to defend them against the feeding frenzy of insect
herbivores. These toxic chemicals may cause liver damage or cancer to the
liver. When purchasing Butterbur products, consult your physician first and
make sure that your purchase is labeled: Pyrrolizidine alkaloid or
PA-free. An effective dosage of Butterbur is 50 to 75 mg twice a day.
