Meet the two Skullcaps—same family, very different personalities! Baikal Skullcap (also known as Chinese Skullcap, Scutellaria baicalensis) and American Skullcap (aka Blue Skullcap or Mad Dog Skullcap, Scutellaria lateriflora). Both share the same genus but bring unique strengths to the herbal table. In this class, we’ll explore what sets them apart—from where they grow and which plant parts are used, to how they work in the body. We’ll dive into their key herbal constituents, modern research, energetics, safety considerations, dosing, and the wide range of therapeutic ways each skullcap shines. By the end, you’ll know exactly when to reach for which skullcap—and why.
