Chinese Scullcap
© Martin WallSide Effects
Use of Chinese scullcap in recommended amounts appears to be safe. There is one case report of liver damage occurring in a person taking a product that contained Chinese skullcap. However, this adverse effect might have been due to another herb present in the product.6 The safety of Chinese scullcap during pregnancy and breast-feeding is unknown and should be avoided during these times.
