Skullcap Tincture (Scutellaria baicalensis) | Dual-Fraction Extract

Scutellaria baicalensis · Root Only · True Dual-Fraction Extract · Traditional Chinese Medicine
2 fl oz / 60 mL  ·  ⚡ High Strength – 1:4 (250 mg/mL)

Known as Huang-Qin in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese Skullcap) has been used for centuries as one of the foundational herbs in Chinese herbal formulas. Its root is rich in flavonoids — including baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin — which have drawn extensive modern pharmacological research.

Our tincture is crafted from USDA Certified Organic Scutellaria baicalensis root using a true dual-fraction extraction: a full 95% ethanol extraction followed by a separate full water extraction, combined to capture the broadest range of constituents. This method honors both the traditional water decoction approach and the flavonoid-rich profile that ethanol draws out.
