Skullcap
Traditionally used in Native American and Chinese remedies, skullcap is a flowering perennial plant from the mint family, Lamiaceae. The herb is used dried or as a powder, with a mild, slightly bitter flavor. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and minerals like magnesium and calcium.
The plant is found in North America’s wet habitats. Also called mad dog and blue skullcap. Both describe a hardy, moderate size plant with blue or purple flowers from the leaf bases on the main stem. Other species use the name skullcap and even have similar properties, the blue one is deemed best, as it has the widest range of uses and powerful chemical compounds.
The health benefits are due to the presence of various phenolic compounds and flavones that impact the body in many different ways. The plant was traditionally used by native Americans for hundreds of years. The extracts of American skullcap are also valuable for certain health conditions.
