- A recent study completed by the Australian Government showed that the leaf was higher in active compounds than the stem. In order to produce Skullcap with high efficacy, we have set a specification to limit the percentage of stem in the herb that we use.
Suggested Use
As an herbal supplement, take three capsules daily.
Background and Use
Native to both North America and Europe, Skullcap was used historically as documented in the British Herbal Pharmacopeia (BHP) and in the Eclectic manuals. This herb has a solid reputation in Europe where it is commonly used as a relaxing nervine (a nervine is an herb that has an effect on the central nervous system). NOTE: Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) should not be confused with Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria barbata), which has quite different biological activity
Precautions
Do not exceed recommended dose unless under the guidance of a health care professional. Not recommended for use during pregnancy or while nursing, until further research verifies no contraindications. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if unusual symptoms occur. Do not use with prescription or over-the-counter drugs that cause sleepiness, as this might increase the potential of side effects.
Please visit our Prescription Drugs and Medications Index for a listing of all contraindicated Sedatives.
