Scullcap
Name :Scullcap
Latin :Scutellaria lateriflora L.
Family :Lamiaceae
Habitat :Grows in wet places in Canada and the northern and eastern United States.

Description :An erect perennial reaching a height of about two feet with two-lipped, brightly colored flowers.Research dating as far back as 1916 has shown that scullcap has no medicinal value. However, an herb called germander (Teucrium), which can damage the liver in excessive doses, is sometimes mistakenly sold as scullcap, making it even more important to avoid this herb.
Uses :Scullcap has long been reputed to have tonic, tranquilizing, and antispasmodic effects. As recently as 1990 it was praised for its supposed beneficial effects on the nervous system. In the past it was a common ingredient in proprietary remedies for 'female weakness.'
