BUTTERBUR, ALSO called bog rhubarb, is found in Ireland and throughout Europe, North America and Asia. The plant grows in wet lowlands, especially along river banks. As its name suggests, its leaves look like those of rhubarb. Around this time of the year, before the leaves appear, distinctive lilac flowers emerge from the ground and extend several inches off the ground on the ends of sturdy stalks. Other species are called butterbur, but the one of medicinal interest is Petasites hybridus.

Sometimes she settles back herself, but if the crying goes on for more than five minutes one of us (usually her father) goes into her and she settles back quickly enough. If I go into her, she pushes me away and shouts for her father, which leads to longer settling periods. I think this is because he has put her to bed almost every night since I stopped breastfeeding during the night and so she associates him with sleeping. However, since last October she has started waking by shouting out, “No, No”, and even sometimes telling “the spiders” to go away.

The number of people with the condition is expected to triple over the next 40 years. Much remains uncertain about its cause and what happens as the person’s memory and cognitive function deteriorate. Current drug treatments target neurotransmitters in the brain. These sometimes give modest, but temporary, improvements.
