The Many Uses of Skullcap Herb

Being hydrophobic is not the only reason to take skullcap herb. It is know to calm and repair nerves, and also used for hyperactivity and insomnia.

If you are suffering from hypertension or stress, take skullcap to ease your physical effects. Skullcap does not create a zombie-like effect as drugs often do. It works to normalize activity and prevents hyperactivity.

It is not necessary to have hydrophobia (fear of water) to use skullcap to calm the nerves.

Skullcap is used internally in the treatment of:

  • restlessness
  • excitability
  • irritation
  • nervous twitches
  • insomnia
  • epilepsy
  • hyperactivity
  • convulsions
  • spasms and
  • tremors

Due to its anti-venomous and anti-viral properties, it has also been used for snake bites, insect stings and dog bites. This led to its name of "Mad-dog Weed".

The Dispensary of the United States highly recommends the use of Skullcap in the treatment of alcoholic hallucinations. Skullcap has also been used to treat female problems, including pre-menstrual syndrome and delayed menstruation.

Recommended dosage: 10 to 40 drops ore more 3 to 4 times daily or taken as needed to promote sleep. For hyperactivity, apply it to the spine before bedtime.

Note: Do not use skullcap if you have heart disease.
