What is Scullcap (baikal skullcap)?

Scullcap is a plant also known as Baikal Scullcap, Chinese Skullcap, Escutelaria Asiatica, Huang Qin, Huangquin, Hwanggum, Ogon, Ou-gon, Racine de Scutellaire du Lac Baïkal, Radix Scutellariae, Scutellaire, Wogon, and other names.

Scullcap taken by mouth has been used to treat arthritis, lung problems, hay fever, seizures, HIV or AIDS, and hepatitis. Scullcap applied to the skin has been used to treat psoriasis, sores or swelling, and hemorrhoids. However, scullcap has not been proven with research to be effective in treating these conditions.

It is not certain whether scullcap is effective in treating any medical condition. Medicinal use of this product has not been approved by the FDA. Scullcap should not be used in place of medication prescribed for you by your doctor.

Scullcap is often sold as an herbal supplement. There are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for many herbal compounds and some marketed supplements have been found to be contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.

Scullcap may also be used for purposes not listed in this product guide.

Warnings

Follow all directions on the product label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I take Scullcap (baikal skullcap)

When considering the use of herbal supplements, seek the advice of your doctor. You may also consider consulting a practitioner who is trained in the use of herbal/health supplements.

If you choose to use scullcap, use it as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider. Do not use more of this product than is recommended on the label.

Do not take topical (for the skin) scullcap by mouth. Topical forms of this product are for use only on the skin.

Do not use different forms (tablets, liquid, tincture, teas, etc) of scullcap at the same time without medical advice. Using different formulations together increases the risk of an overdose.

Call your doctor if the condition you are treating with scullcap does not improve, or if it gets worse while using this product.
