Scullcap Extract
Out here in
Southeastern
Arizona
we have a Skullcap variety that we call "Desert Mountian
Skullcap". This plant has proven to be almost twice as effective
as the standard Skullcap of the medicinal herb trade! Plant Cures Skullcap
Extract is
made from this
wonderful plant.
Skullcap Extract has been
the best remedy for any kind of pain caused from nervous tension that I
have ever seen! Usually this type of pain is carried in the neck and
shoulder area. It will also calm you down beautifully if you are
frustrated.
If you
ever get episodes of high blood pressure it will bring it down fast. (In
large doses: 1-2 table Sps - yep a half ounce or more!) It begins to work
in about 20 minutes. (yet it will not lower blood pressure that is already
low)
I once got my sciatic nerve pinched between
two vertebrae (From stepping into a hole while carrying a large chair) I
had to crawl back to the house! The use of Skullcap for about two days (1
tea spoon 3 times a day) relaxed the nerve enough for it to slip out from
between the vertebrae. I could feel it "pop" out.
When you
need this kind of natural medication, there is not a better or safer
muscle/nerve relaxer out there!
Herbalists Notes: Skullcap is also a very strong
anti viral plant! It is part of our famous Viral Defense
formula. I have read in medical
books about Dr. Van Deveer successfully curing the Rabies Virus
in the
early 1800's in animals and men with the use of skullcap leaves. This
is why another common name for Skullcap is "Mad Dog Weed".
