Chinese Skullcap Root (Baikal) Organic

Chinese Skullcap Root (Scutellaria baicalensis)

Chinese skullcap, also known as baical skullcap or huang qin, is one of the 50 fundamental herbs of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used in classical Chinese formulas for centuries. Unlike American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), which is valued for its aerial parts, Chinese skullcap is prized for its root. Traditionally regarded in TCM as the "golden herb," it is commonly included in combination formulas and is associated with supporting the Lung, Liver, and digestive systems. Our dried Chinese skullcap root can be prepared as a decoction, tincture, tea, or incorporated into custom herbal formulations.
