I have decided that I will be doing a daily plant post! It'll tell you what each plant is good for & any warnings that may come with it. The information that I will be providing has come from a National Geographic. (Healing Remedies A Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness. (n.d.). National Geographic.)
Butterbur (Petasites hybridus)-
found in Europe, northern Africa, and Asia
helps reduce smooth muscle constriction in the lungs and shrink swollen nasal membranes
helps seasonal allergies & asthma
alleviates migraine headaches
Safety- contains small amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can damage the liver over time. Should not be used during pregnancy due to the lack of info on possible effects.
