Description
What is Skullcap? (Scutellaria lateriflora)
Named for the two lips of its flowers which resemble the ‘skullcap’ worn by warriors of medieval times, Skullcap is especially helpful for circular or repetitive thoughts, or if your mind is running a million miles a minute.
Skullcap is used in a wide range of nervous system conditions including anxiety, headaches, neuralgia (nerve pain), epilepsy, Parkinson disease, and ADD/ADHD. Its gentle, sedative action helps to calm the nervous system and relax the entire body, making it very useful for mental stress that is causing physical tension in the body and making it difficult to sleep. It gently helps to induce sleep without any heavy, sedating action or next-day grogginess.
It has been used to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms from prescription sedatives and tranquilizers such as benzodiazepines, and with delirium tremens of alcohol withdrawal. Historically, Skullcap was known as “mad dog” for its use in treating the spasmed, twitching muscles caused by rabies infection, transmitted by the bite of a “mad” (rabid) dog.

Question:
Hello, I have epilepsy. Currently I am taking 1500 mg. of Kepra and 100 mg. of lamictal to control seizures. I have been looking into Skullcap to help control the seizures. Is there anyway you can help with how much I would need compared to the medications I am currently on. I know it will only be advice. Thanks, Bill T.Asked on 1/28/2012 by B.J. from Elkton, Maryland1 answer
Answer:
Skullcap isn't considered a treatment for preventing seizures, but rather a herbal extract to help relax the body and nerves via the nervous system to promote a feeling of relaxation. This can help reduce the cases or severity of seizures, but it's not specifically formulated to treat them. The recommended dosages for Skullcap is to take 20 - 60 drops, 2 or 3 times a day. There are no known contraindications with this herb, but if you are planning on taking it in conjunction with medication, it'd be best to consult with your doctor.Answered on 2/1/2012 by Linda

Answer:
We do not suggest the Skullcap for children. I would suggest our Kid's Mellow Gold: http://www.naturalwellbeing.com/products/kids-mellow-gold This supplement is formulated specifically for children to soothe anxious nerves and promote easy, fast sleep. Before your child takes this supplement in conjunction with other remedies, we suggest printing the ingredients and consulting with a Doctor to see if it is suitable for he or she: http://www.naturalwellbeing.com/products/kids-mellow-gold#ingredientsAnswered on 1/10/2012 by Coreena
Question:
Hi,
Currently trying to wean off of .5 mg xanax per doctor's order. I'm interested in using Skullcap once I've tapered off from my med. I've been taking xanax since Thanksgiving and I'm currently tapering off. How many days would I able to cross over to using Skullcap after being weaned off Xanax? I take Xanax 2 tablets at night for insomnia.Asked on 12/29/2011 by OrchidLady from Gaithersburg, MD1 answer
Answer:
Your doctor would be able to advise on the duration of time required for your body to completely metabolize and no longer have the Xanax in your system. You can also print the information for our Skullcap to discuss with your doctor as an alternative treatment option.Answered on 12/30/2011 by Diane from CRS office
