Butterbur for Headaches

The large heart-shaped leaves of the Butterbur plant were commonly used in the past to wrap butter and stop it from melting in warm weather – hence the name. It has already been prescribed in Germany for more than 30 years to combat painful migraines – it’s also an herb that has more recently been administered as an allergy treatment. But Butterbur for headaches continues to be the most popular use of this amazing plant.

Remedies containing Butterbur for headaches have made it easier for migraine sufferers to cope, but how does this extract work? Researchers have discovered that Butterbur for headaches contains two active ingredients, petasin and isopetasin, which are effective at inhibiting the production of leukotriene, a chemical that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. Because Butterbur reduces inflammation, migraines are less likely to occur as often. And as mentioned above, Butterbur for headaches also limits the production of histamine, which opens allergy sufferers’ nasal passages and has the potential to relieve annoying symptoms of congestion.

Although studies of Butterbur for headaches and allergies are in the beginning stages, much evidence has already been uncovered to support the fact that Butterbur for headaches is an effective and safe preventive treatment for migraine attacks.
