Diseases with heat are associated with symptoms such as fever, irritability, thirst, cough and expectoration of thick, yellow sputum. Damp diseases may be associated with diarrhoea, a feeling of heaviness of the chest and painful urination. From a modern perspective this suggests that baical scullcap may be useful for infection and inflammation of the respiratory, digestive and urinary systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eActions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiallergic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypotensive, anxiolytic, hypnotic, antimicrobial, immunostimulant, antiemetic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIndications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Chronic inflammatory conditions such as asthma, arthritis and allergies\u003cbr\u003e•    Liver disease and infections such as hepatitis\u003cbr\u003e•    Hypertension, vascular disorders\u003cbr\u003e•    Common infections such as the common cold and bronchitis\u003cbr\u003e•    Nausea and vomiting especially as adjunctive therapy during cancer treatment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnergetics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitter, cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse in Pregnancy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaical scullcap is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for restless foetus (threatened abortion) and toxaemia of pregnancy however safety in pregnancy is still unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContraindications \u0026amp; Cautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaical scullcap is contraindicated in cold conditions in TCM. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrug Interactions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaical scullcap is contraindicated during interferon therapy for cancer treatment.
