Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Natural Migraine ReliefIf you suffer from migraines, and don't like the thought of taking strong prescription medications, consider trying butterbur (Petasites hybridus). This herb is native to Europe, northern Africa and southwestern Asia, and has been used for centuries as an effective remedy for headaches, back pain, and asthma. More recent evidence suggests migraine sufferers may benefit from butterbur's actions - reducing inflammation and spasms in blood-vessel walls - without experiencing the side effects associated with prescription medications (except some burping). A study published in Neurology, Dec. 28, 2004 reported that after four months, people taking 75 mg of butterbur for migraines had 48 percent fewer migraine attacks per month - similar to the effects of prescription migraine drugs. Be very careful about the butterbur you purchase - only use butterbur extracts that are guaranteed to be free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. The adult dosage ranges from 50-100 mg twice daily, andshould be taken with meals.
