Project Description
(Scutellaria lateriflora)
🌿
Wow, the Universe is certainly helping me with my passion for finding the wild herbs I regularly use in my every day clinic.
I found Skullcap in France. I had been looking for it and found it next to a Lake just below the Pyrenees.

The aerial parts are used in herbal medicine for calming the nervous system. I prescribe it to patients that have emotional stress and anxiety and I often use it in a herb mix for insomnia, especially when patients fall asleep OK but then wake up and cant get back to sleep.
It is also helpful for PMS, tension headaches, neuralgia and depression.
The skullcap herbal medicines must be practitioner prescribed to ensure the skullcap is the correct species to use and not adulterated with other species.
