I've been taking skullcap for anxiety for six months now. It's not a miracle, but it's helped more than the prescription stuff ever did.
Wait, you're seriously telling me a plant extract is better than Big Pharma?!!! You're one of those people who think essential oils cure cancer, aren't you??!!
Skullcap? That's what your grandma used to brew when the monsoons hit and your nerves were frayed like old rope. Funny how the old ways still work while the new ones just make you richer and sicker.
Ah yes, the ancient wisdom of the American herbalist-right up there with chiropractic adjustments for asthma and drinking apple cider vinegar for diabetes. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
skullcap? more like skullcap-italism. they sell it for $20 a bottle but the plant grows wild for free. capitalism is a scam bro
I appreciate the natural approach. I don't need to know every mechanism-just that it works for some people.
Skullcap is a gateway herb. Next thing you know, you're drinking echinacea tea while wearing a crystal necklace and believing the government is poisoning the water with fluoride to suppress your spiritual awakening.
If it helps you breathe easier or sleep better without side effects why not give it a shot? Just don't stop your meds without talking to your doc
My uncle in Kerala used to chew the leaves before temple. Said it calmed the mind. I thought he was weird. Now I'm the one Googling herbal extracts at 2 a.m.
The purported anxiolytic properties of Scutellaria lateriflora have not been subjected to randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of sufficient statistical power to warrant clinical endorsement.
You people are pathetic. You'd rather swallow leaves than take a real pill that's been tested for 30 years. You're not natural-you're just lazy and scared of science.
This is how they get you. First it's skullcap, then it's 'organic' kale smoothies, then you're refusing vaccines because 'your body knows best.' Wake up, sheeple!
I started taking it after my panic attacks got worse. It didn't fix everything, but I feel a little calmer. That's enough for me. 😊
I think it's worth exploring if it's helping someone. Not everyone needs a clinical trial to feel better.
i tried skullcap after my dad passed. it dint cure grief but it dint make me feel like i was falling apart every morning. thanks for sharing
I remember the first time I took it. I sat on my balcony at sunset, the wind brushing my skin, and I felt the universe whispering through the roots of the earth. For a moment, I wasn't just a person with anxiety-I was part of something ancient, something sacred. And then I remembered I had to pay $22 for that feeling and I cried again. Not because it didn't work-but because it worked too well, and now I’m addicted to peace.
Oh wow, so now you're a poet? You're not 'part of the universe,' you're just spending too much time on Reddit and not enough time in a real doctor's office.
