Hi Judson

Why is this mint called skull cap?

I have heard of a mushroom that I think is poisoness call skullcap but not this mint.

I assume it is very safe to have as a mint in a salad?

You said it was sedative, but is that only in large quantities?

Thanks again for your work.

Skullcap is in the mint family, so is basil, lemon balm and several other herbs. The name comes from the flower, that looks like a hat from the middle ages. It may be a bit bitter for salad, though I wouldn't hesitate to toss in a little.

Thanks, I will try and get some in Australia,

If you can grow the Asian version, its roots have stronger antiviral properties. Scutellaria baicalensis
