Baikal skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis) has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its remarkable medicinal properties. This 50g supply of high-quality dried root offers a potent source of natural remedies for various health concerns.

Powerful Natural Antibiotic & Antioxidant:

Baikal skullcap root acts as a natural antibiotic, effectively combating a range of bacterial infections caused by pathogens such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria, and Escherichia coli. Its potent antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress, slowing down the aging process and promoting overall well-being.

Vasodilator & Hepatoprotective Effects:

This remarkable herb possesses vasodilatory properties, relieving spasms similar to the effects of Papaverine. Its hepatoprotective action makes it beneficial for liver health, especially when addressing lifestyle-related liver issues or existing liver conditions. It also exhibits anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory properties. The high concentration of tannins contributes to its hemostatic (blood-clotting) effects.

Apply the tincture topically several times a day to treat acne, boils, and other inflammatory skin eruptions. Use a moisturizer to counteract dryness.
