Thank you! 😊 I actually grew scull cap for the first time this year and dehydrated it until I’m ready to use it for making tea. Today I’m drinking apple cider and orange tea with basil and fever few. I made it and it tastes so autumn yummy! Off to work now and feeling much more “ready” to deal with customers and difficult coworkers. 😊
Hey, Loved this video, honestly..... No one explains about skullcap in detail like you do, thanks so much. Can you please suggest any known through your experience a reliable site to check contraindication or drug interaction. Will help me greatly as I am on medication for arthritis, diabetes & cholesterol, thanks a bunch sweetie.
Kristen, I really want to thank you for this (I listened to the podcast). I tend to suffer with neck and shoulder pain and tight jaw. It's the stress of responsibility I have felt since when I was little towards my family. I gave it a try and I was mind blown at how effective it is for my pain. It really does help. You're so brilliant! The only thing is I'm not sure if it can be taken regularly or only on acute times.
this is a tonic herb so you can absolutely take it as much as you want and should definitely be taken everyday! you migth also love blue vervain for those very tense moments!
Do u find skullcap is better than lemon balm when it comes to anxiety and calming the brain? For some reason, I haven’t found the best luck with lemon balm and was thinking of trying skullcap
I've found skullcap helpful for lump-in-throat physical anxiety symptom. Been taking for job interviews and skullcap seemed to have a stronger sedating effect the more stressed I got. I'm concerned about long term use of passionflower because it has MAOI effects, very mild but can linger for 48 hours, so am considering just taking skullcap by itself instead of a combo formula.
thats a TOTALLY reasonable decision for you to make and I love that you are thinking deeply about your wellness and herbs. I really love the direct experience information you share here especially as I have been living with a lump in my throat the last week!
you absolutely can BUT it will not have the same effects. It will still be beneficial but in a more sedating way rather than a "calming the mind" way. but also, you could just try it and see what happens! thats how you will learn the most.
@@mysticmago7613 Ok i take pregabalin for nerve damage , would this cause any problems smoking this while on pregabalin you think , pregabalin works on the GABA receptors.
Definitely easy to grow. Grew it in zone 3b this summer. Started in house and planted out.
Use it for sleep
Actually, Chinese medicine skullcap is a different herb. It it's Skullcap baicalensis - and the root is used.

the plants will really do that for us! we are so lucky to have them as friends ❣
I noticed that you seem calmer and more focused in this video than previous videos 👍🏻 I will need to grow this one.
I might just be very tired OR its the skullcap! Need more data 😂

It is in the mint family.
What does Wild Rosinweed..yellow flower?
so if I smoke it will I trip balls? other than that I will go the doc!
Do you use the leaves and flowers when making a fresh flowering scullcap tincture? Great video! Thank you!
yes! I like to use both.
@@herbalistkristen - Thank you!
So you can’t make the tincture from the dried skullcap? It has to be fresh?
you absolutely can BUT it will not have the same effects. It will still be beneficial but in a more sedating way rather than a "calming the mind" way. but also, you could just try it and see what happens! thats how you will learn the most.
@@herbalistkristen thank you! I purchased one from Amazon that was made from the fresh for now but making my own would be so much cheaper.
Can you talk about arrow leaf
Is this similar to Mary Jane 😂 💨?
it can be smoked or can take a capsule and ppl do use it to quit or replace cannabis
