A total of 125 people with a history of hay fever were treated with either butterbur extract tablets or a commonly used antihistamine (cetirizine) in a randomised controlled trial. After two weeks, both groups experienced a similar degree of relief from their symptoms, but those taking butterbur did not experience drowsiness and fatigue like the antihistamine group (BMJ 2002;324:144). </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thehealthierlife.co.uk/natural-health-articles/allergies/natural-hayfever-remedies-00222.html"><DIV>Butterbur naturally contains chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) that can be toxic to the liver, so be sure to obtain a PA-free standardised extract.
