Characterized by a bitter taste, predominantly cold nature, and non-toxic profile, Scutellaria baicalensis (with the common name Baikal skullcap, or Huang Qin), targets the lung, stomach, and gallbladder meridians. It is celebrated for clearing heat, drying dampness, cooling the blood, and detoxifying the body. Clinical observations suggest that its effects are particularly pronounced in the upper body—helping to balance sebum production and alleviate inflammation and sensitivity. Traditionally, it has also been used to stop bleeding and support fetal health, underscoring its versatility in addressing conditions related to prolonged internal heat. Nonetheless, its use requires careful attention to compatibility and dosage.
