A) Anti-inflammatory

Although clinical trials are currently lacking, scientific investigation of this Chinese herb suggests a very potent inhibiting effect on inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes (which are approximately 1,000 times more inflammatory than histamine. Experimental research has noted an inflammation-reducing action comparable to non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.

B) Anti-allergic

Aside from its influence on inflammatory prostaglandins, the flavonoids present in scutellariae also appear to exert anti-allergic capabilities due to the inhibition of histamine release from mast cells.

C) Antioxidant

Scutellariae flavonoids demonstrate a significant antioxidant capacity - a property which is especially valuable considering the detrimental impact of free radicals on inflammatory processes.

Potential applications of Scutellariae:

• Arthritis
• Rheumatism
• Hayfever
• Asthma
• Food allergies
• Atopic (allergic) eczema
• Protection against free radicals

Testimonial

Mrs C recently contact goodvitality:

"I have been suffering terribly with hayfever this year and, to cap it all off, the heat made my eczema much worse than usual as well. In desperation, I tried Scutellaria and found that - within 24 hours - the eczema had visibly reduced and my asthma was much improved."
