Butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is a native shrub of Europe, North America, and Asia that has been used by the herbalists for centuries. Modern scientific studies have demonstrated that Butterbur supports healthy blood flow to the brain and healthy neurological function. Petasins, the active constituents in Butterbur, have been shown to play a role in minimizing the frequency and severity of neurological discomfort triggered by bright lights and stress that occasionally occurs in healthy individuals. In addition, Butterbur may help to maintain balanced seasonal immune responses. NOW Butterbur is free of harmful levels of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PA's), so it is safe to use regularly.

July 02, 2009 Reviewer: THANASIS in Greece It relieved me from allergic rhinitis! One hour after taking it I feel my nose open and I have a good sleep! On heavy periods I take 1 pill twice daily. It is the best product I have ever used for my allergic rhinitis problem. For me its better than quercetin. I don't know if it is as effective for other people as it is for me. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No December 26, 2009 Reviewer: Valerie in Texas I began taking this product a few years ago at the recommendation of my Neurologist for the prevention of Migraines. I am very pleased with the results. While taking Butterbur regularly, I definitely notice a reduction in the frequency of my Migraines. I recently stopped taking the Butterbur, and after only a few weeks, the Migraines started coming more frequently again. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who suffers from Migraines. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No
