Antioxidant support:Root flavonoids baicalein and baicalin have shown strong free-radical scavenging activity.
Inflammatory balance:Inhibiting cytokine-initiated inflammation due to bacterial infections.
Liver support:Compounds Oroxylin A and Wogonin help to regulate liver enzymes, and the herb helps protect the liver from cytokine-initiated inflammation. Baicalin has antioxidant effects shown in rat liver studies. Skullcapflavone I was shown to reduce inflammatory response in mouse liver studies.
Anti-tumor activity:Extracts of skullcap were shown in both in vitro and in vivo studies to reduce tumor size of cancers growing in the liver, stomach, lungs, breasts, prostates, bladders, brains, squamous cell, gallbladder, as well as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.Mood support:Activating the GABA-A receptor site where benzodiazapines bind to.
I talk about what a dual extraction is, some basic at home tincture methods, soxhlet extractors, my stainless steel soxhlets too.
