Allergy: Butterbur (Petasites hybridus)
July 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Butterbur (Petasites hybridus)
Another interesting allergy treatment involves the herb butter-bur. This botanical medicine has been used to treat symptoms of migraine headaches, asthma, and allergy. It has anti-inflammatory activity and blocks the formation of compounds called leukotrienes (pronounced lew-co-TRY-eens). These rascals cause all sorts of mischief in the nose, including itching, sneezing, swelling, and congestion. In some respects, leukotrienes may be even more of a problem than histamine. Leukotrienes contribute to the inflammatory cascade that underlies both allergy and asthma. The prescription asthma and allergy drug Singulair (montelukast) also works by inhibiting leukotriene formation. Swiss researchers compared butterbur with the antihistamine cetirizine (Zyrtec) in a randomized, double-blind study. They found that both products were equally effective at controlling symptoms, but butterbur was significantly less sedating than Zyrtec.
Q. I have suffered from chronic sinusitis, which in turn led to bronchitis and frequently into pneumonia. My physician put me on Allegra and then switched me to Clarinex.
I continued to have sinusitis and pneumonia annually for 5 years, so my doctor sent me to an allergist. He diagnosed several allergies and added a prescription for Nasacort to the Clarinex.
Two years ago, having suffered through another bout of sinusitis and pneumonia, I saw an integrative alternative medicine physician. He took me off Clarinex and prescribed butterbur, stinging nettles, and quercitin instead. I’ve taken this combination for 2 years and it has reduced the frequency of the sinusitis.I read that I should take butterbur only 6 weeks a year. Now I am concerned about the danger of liver damage.
A. Pharmacologist David Kroll, PhD, offered this clarification on butterbur. “I wanted to follow up on a reader who wrote to your newspaper column regarding the potential liver toxicity of butterbur (Petasites hybridus), an herb that’s become popular due to positive efficacy trials in migraine prevention and allergic rhinitis. While the herb is potentially toxic to the liver, it shouldn’t be a problem with high-quality products like Petadolex. I do-fear that some less honorable companies may latch onto this herb and not take such care with the high-tech extraction process that is necessary to reduce the risk. That might lead to some major liver injury cases.”
There is one fly in the ointment, however. Concerns have been raised about potential liver toxicity associated with compounds in butterbur. If the herbal preparation is not manufactured under very stringent quality-control conditions, there could be problems. As a result, we suggest that people use butterbur only temporarily (say, for 6 weeks during hay fever season) and that they monitor their liver enzyme activity with medical supervision. One product that should be safe is Petadolex. The German manufacturer is Weber and Weber, and it is available in the United States.
