The Butterbur herb can be found growing in wet, low-lying, marshy meadows and it grows commonly by river banks.

The species Petasites japonicus is common in colder, northern regions of Russia and Europe. The leaves of the fully grown herb can attain diameters of up to three feet. The origin of the name Butterbur stems from the Colonial days, where the large leaves from the plant were used to wrap butter during hot weather, in order to keep it cool. Extracts from the leaves and roots have been used, since ancient Greek times, as an anti-inflammatory, a smooth muscle relaxant (anti-spasmodic) and pain reliever (analgesic).

It is suggested that extracts of Butterbur “...do wonderfully help to dry up the moisture of the sores that are hard to be cured and takes away all spots and blemishes of the skin”.

The anti-allergenic properties of the aerial portion of the plant can be attributed to the eremophilane type sesquiterpenes (of which Petasin & Iso-Petasin are major constituents), fukinone and hydroxyfukinone.

Butterbur has been found to be effective at helping to relieve discomfort in sensitive skin associated with irritation and rosacea.
