What are butterbur supplements for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several uses: Herbal butterbur can be used for pain, upset stomach, stomach ulcers, migraine and other headaches, ongoing cough, chills, anxiety, and hay fever -- among others. One of the most striking is migraine prevention. The american academy of neurology has new guidelines recommending one form of butterbur petasites (petadolex) for this. It's free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can damage liver.
