Butterbur Promotes Healthy Bladder Control

• Butterbur treatment for Hay Fever as effective as antihistamine

Finally, Butterbur provides natural support for incontinance.  Nearly 30 million people in the United States have issues with urinary urge and frequency - incontenance. 

Initially, studies showed butterbur to be effective in the treatment of migraines and it continues to be marketed for this purpose.  This new use is a breakthrough, patented extract that has been shown to minimize frequency and the sudden urge to urinate, according to a human clinical trial.  Butterbur has been shown to support smooth muscle relaxation in animal studies. 

Bladder issues are highly prevalent in both genders but more common in women.  Difficulty with bladder control has a profound effect on quality of life - causing social, psychological, occupational, physical and sexual frustrations.  Urovex Butterbur extract has been shown to improve the sudden urge to urinate.  In one study, 24 women were given butterbur for 8 weeks.  After three weeks, 17 women reported a significant reduction in the frequency of urination.  Before they began taking butterbur, voiding intervals were 30 to 90 minutes, while three weeks later the intervals of 17 of the women were between 90 and 150 minutes.  

Butterbur is a perennial shrub native to Europe, northern Africa and southwestern Asia that has been used medicinally for centuries to maintain a healthful, active lifestyle.  The use of preparations from butterbur has included promoting proper smooth muscle tone, including relief for painful menstrual cramps and other traditional uses.
