Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Huang Qin (Golden/Yellow Root), Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) has been a cornerstone of Asian botanical medicine for over 2,000 years. First documented in the ancient text Shennong Bencao Jing, its vibrant golden root was historically revered for its remarkable capacity to "clear heat and dry dampness." Renowned in both Eastern and modern Western herbalism, Baikal Skullcap is valued as a powerful cooling botanical ally for soothing systemic heat, calming an overheated nervous system, and supporting robust immune resilience.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Bitter, astringent
• Energetics: Cold, drying, clearing

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Clearing Heat & Irritation: Assisting the body's natural response to localized or systemic heat, redness, and tissue sensitivity.
• Immune & Respiratory Support: Fortifying respiratory resilience and assisting the immune system during seasonal challenges.
• Calming Nervous Heat: Soothing restless tension, irritability, and sleep disturbances linked to internal heat or stress.
• Digestive & Liver Harmony: Supporting healthy liver detoxification pathways and easing heat-related digestive discomfort.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Decoction (Root Tea): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried root to 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and gently simmer for 15–20 minutes. Strain and enjoy 1–2 times daily.

• Practitioner Tip: Due to its deeply bitter, cooling nature, it brews into a potent tonic that can be softened with a drizzle of raw honey or combined with aromatic herbs.
