Skullcap, or Scutellaria lateriflora, the most valuable species of the Scutellaria genus, has historically been used in traditional folk practices to promote wellbeing and relaxation during times of occasional distress. Skullcap is considered a "comforting" herb and known to instill a sense of gentle calm. Originally used as traditional medicine amongst the indigenous people of North America, today in the USA it is used as a sedative and an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy, hysteria, and various neurotic ailments. Studies have proven the antioxidant effectiveness of skullcap to help protect against neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and depression. Skullcap can be used as a long-term tonic, meaning it is safe to take at low doses for an extended period of time.
