Solidéu (Scutellaria lateriflora)

A solidéu pertence à mesma família da hortelã e do alecrim (Lamiaceae). Esta erva - em inglês skullcap - adquiriu o seu nome devido às suas flores, que têm a forma de uma caveira humana. A planta atinge cerca de 50 cm em altura e encontra-se sobretudo perto da água e em florestas pantanosas.

É uma erva relaxante. Pode ser usada para para reprimir medos, ansiedade e nervosismo.

Efeitos

A erva solidéu pode ser bebida como chá. O chá dá uma sensação de relaxamento e pode ser usado como opiáceo ou em benefício da meditação.

Como esta erva não altera o poder intelectual ou a concentração, também pode ser usada para reduzir a ansiedade em alturas de, por exemplo, exames. Para além disto a solidéu pode ser usada para aliviar, entre outras, dores de cabeça e menstruais.

Uso

Para fazer chá mistura 25 gramas em meio litro de água quente durante 20 minutos, junta açúcar a gosto. Bebe 1 a 2 chávenas para o efeito desejado.

Aviso

A solidéu não deve ser misturada com medicamentos ou tranquilizantes. É bastante forte isolada, e a sua química ainda tem que ser identificada.

“First, Thanks AZARIUS for the super speedy and professional transaction! 5 Stars to you!!

My first impressions of this herb are not good ones. I made the mistake of smoking it, stems and sticks and what not included. The first hit almost ripped my lungs out! Then I took a portion and removed as many of the big stems and "wood" as I could, trying for just green leafs. Not an easy task with this grade that I received. (That was not a complaint, just a statement- received product looks just like the picture here on the site)

After extracting as much fine stuff as I wanted, I packed one bowl tight and enjoyed the sweet, woodsy taste. It was still pretty harsh, but manageable. I did enjoy the taste, though.
Pipe empty, I decided to go out into the fresh air and enjoy nature a bit. It was 1:30 in the morning and cold, 5.5°C. I had a T-Shirt and a sweater on and the cold didn't bother me. I felt slightly lightheaded, relaxed and content. I sat on a bench and smoked a (normal) cigarette, enjoying the light, cottony and slightly swollen feeling in my arms, hands and legs. A pleasant feeling.
I went back inside and just sat around, listening to an audio book, feeling very relaxed and without worries. No optics or dripping music notes. No laughing at a fuzzball on the floor. That wasn't my goal, anyway. But the contentedness was nice.

Smoking it is unpleasant (even if it does taste good) because it rips my throat and lungs apart. That's why only three stars. Tonight I'll make a tea, I have higher hopes for that.

Thanks again Azarius!”

“I use scullcap for menstrual cramps. I have severe cramps and the tea takes the edge off. As a bonus, if I have it before bed, it provides a very mild relaxing feeling that, while it's too mild to induce sleep, it certainly aids sleep.”
