There is no such thing as “Scutellaria baicalensis is the best for what disease”. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes on rationale, method, formula, medicine, and the identification of evidence, and each part is indispensable. Scutellaria baicalensis is commonly used in the treatment of dampness-warmth (warmth caused by feeling dampness-heat), summer-dampness, chest congestion and vomiting, damp-heat lumpiness (stomach distension and discomfort), diarrhea, jaundice, and other illnesses. Scutellaria baicalensis has the efficacy of clearing heat and drying dampness (removing heat and drying dampness), diarrhea and detoxification (removing fire and toxicity in the body), stopping bleeding, and tranquilizing the fetus, and is mainly used in treating dampness-warmth, jaundice and diarrhea, coughing with lung-heat, fever and thirst, summer-dampness, stuffiness in the chest, vomiting and vomiting, dampness-heat lumps and fullness, epistaxis with blood-heat (vomiting of blood and nosebleeds due to blood-heat), restlessness of fetus and so on. Scutellaria baicalensis with Coptis chinensis and Honeysuckle can be used in treating eye redness and swelling, swollen gums, high fever and headache, and mouth and tongue sores caused by fire-heat in the middle and upper Jiao (exuberant fire-heat evil). Scutellaria baicalensis is used in combination with Houpu and Muxiang to treat distention and fullness in the epigastrium (abdomen), and dysentery (dysentery due to damp-heat evil qi) and other conditions. Scutellaria baicalensis is bitterly cold and should not be used by people with deficiency of cold in the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weak and cold). Adverse effects are not known. The drug should be used under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to avoid adverse effects.
