Skullcap, also known as Scutellaria lateriflora, is a plant that is indigenous to Europe and America. It has been used for centuries to treat various neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. Skullcap has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Skullcap is known for its calming properties and has been used as a relaxant to alleviate anxiety, convulsions, and nervous tension. Additionally, it has some sedative effects that may make it beneficial as a sleeping aid by slowing down breathing. Research also suggests that Skullcap can help ease benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
