I am investigating the herb butterbur because it is suggested that the allergies that I currently have may be helped. Mold is one such allergy.
Here, from Web MD are my notes:
Other names of herb:
Blatterdock, Bog Rhubarb, Bogshorns, Butter Bur, Butterburr, Butter-Dock, Butterfly Dock, Capdockin, Exwort, Flapperdock, Japanese Butterbur, Japonica Petasites, Langwort, Pestwurz, Petasites, Petasites flower, Petasites hybridus, Petasites officinalis Petasites leaf, Petasites rhizome, Petasites root, Petasitidis Folium, Petasitidis Rhizoma, Petasitidis Hybridus, Petasites Japonicus, Petasites Vulgaris, Plague Root, Purple Butterbur, Tussilago hybrida, Umbrella Leaves.
It can cause liver damage and should be labeled PA-free to be safe in taking the product. PA's are chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Take these nasties out and the product is good to go. The herb is good for the following
Butterbur is used for pain, upset stomach, stomach ulcers, migraine and other headaches, ongoing cough, chills, anxiety, plague, fever, trouble sleeping (insomnia), whooping cough, asthma, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and for irritable bladder and urinary tract spasms. Butterbur is also used to stimulate the appetite. So watch out to not gain weight on this one.
