SKULLCAP TINCTURE RELIEVES NERVOUS TENSION
Mode Of Action
Skullcap is a powerful nervine and has a toning and reconstructing effect on the nervous system. It soothes excitability, calms nervous tension and reduces the harmful effects of prolonged stress. Its flavonoids act on GABA metabolism and make skullcap very efficient for anxiety. It normalizes the functions of the nervous system: in times of physical and mental fatigue, it increases energy whereas during hyperactivity and agitation, it has rather a calming effect. Skullcap has a special affinity for people who are hypersensitive and it soothes strong emotions.
Mildly sedative, skullcap helps fall and stay asleep without causing drowsiness when if it is used for its calming effect during the day. It helps quit drugs and alcohol and reduces the adverse effects of withdrawal, thereby helping to recover faster.
Its combined antispasmodic and nervine effects are very beneficial when stress is causing muscle spasms, nervous tics, rigidity and muscle pain. Combined with other herbs, skullcap relieves nerve pain.
Skullcap also acts on the heart and is indicated for functional heart troubles of nervous origin. It reduces blood pressure and heart palpitations caused by mental and emotional tension.
Digestive troubles caused by stress, such as acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome, benefit from the use of skullcap infusion as it acts on both the digestive and nervous systems.
Scutellaria lateriflora has anticonvulsant properties. It is used in certain cases of mild Tourette syndrome. It relieves nervous headaches. It soothes premenstrual tension and is a diuretic. Its main constituents are flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, scutellarin, baicalein), polysaccharides (lignin), resin, tannins, iridoids (catapol), fatty acids, minerals (Ca, K, Mg), trace elements (Fe, Si), vitamins (A, B, C) and volatile oils.

History
Skullcap has been an important herb in traditional medicine and has been used to treat anxiety and associated troubles. At the beginning of the 18th century, skullcap was used in the United States to treat scabies and St-Vitus’ dance. It has also been used in the treatment of epilepsy, convulsions, shaking, snake bites, insect bites and rabies, where it got its common name Mad dog weed. Although some of its uses have been dropped, the American eclectic doctors continued using it for epilepsy, nervousness, insomnia, muscle spasms and other nervous conditions. Today, skullcap is known as a powerful nervine herb.
