Butterbur

The butterbur plant has long been used as natural remedies for a variety of ailments, including fevers and headaches. In more recent times, scientific studies showed that specially prepared extracts were effective in treating migraine sufferers, reducing the occurrence and duration of attacks. Now, research by a Swiss team suggests that butterbur extract may be as effective as antihistamines in the treatment of hay fever, while avoiding the drowsiness caused by those drugs.
