| When help is needed in the
process of breaking an addiction, skullcap is the herb of choice. Skullcap
actually soothes nerve endings, restoring the central nervous system to health
and vitality. When using skullcap for this purpose, small frequent doses
are suggested, 10-15 drops of tincture every hour or so, as
needed.
Skullcap's high calcium content
is nourishing and particularly helpful to menopausal women. As an anti-spasmodic,
skullcap aids the digestive process.
This herb is effective at recommended
dosage, and more is not necessarily better. Some folks experience a fuzzy
feeling at high dose. Begin with a low dose, and slowly increase to effective
levels within the recommended range.
Skullcap is in the mint family
and prefers rich, moist soil and full sun. |
