- Skullcap is a delicate, erect perennial with smooth square stems. The leaves are opposite in arrangement, and thin and egg-shaped with toothed margins. The flowers are blue, two-lipped, and found in elongate groups on stalks in the upper half of the plant.
Skullcap helps almost any occasional pain, from spinal or peripheral nerve irritability without organic causes.
Valerian is a perennial growing with upright stems from 1 to 3 feet in height. There are one or more sets of opposite leaves along the stem with each group separate from the next. The succulent above ground growth is green and forms newly each year. The flower umbels appear at the end of the stems in colors ranging from light pink to white. The roots have a distinctive scent.
Valerian reduces hypertension due to stress and reduces pain, therefore has been effective in comforting shingles outbreaks.
St. John's Wort is a widespread perennial and reproduces by short runners as well as seeds. The stems are between 1 to 2 1⁄2 feet high, erect, and have numerous rust colored branches. The oblong leaves are covered with transparent dots, up to one inch long, and arranged oppositely along the stem. The numerous bright yellow flowers are 3⁄4 inch in diameter flat-topped clusters. Each flower consists of 5 separate petals. The numerous stamens are arranged in groups of three.
St. John's Wort relieves the occasional pains of sciatica or neuralgia associated with shingles.
