The two-lobed flowers resemble the military helmets worn by early European settlers, hence the herb's name. A hardy plant, it grows 1 to 4 feet (25 cm to 1 m) high, thriving in the woods and swamplands of eastern North America. Settlers in the late 1700's promoted the herb's effectiveness as a cure for rabies, giving rise to one of its common names, mad dog weed. This claim was later discarded, and herbalists began to focus on the plant's considerable value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONSTITUENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolatile oil, scutellarin, bitter glycoside, tannin, fat, bitter principles, and sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePARTS USED\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe above-ground parts of the plant, dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTYPICAL PREPARATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally taken as a tea or tincture; can be used in capsule form.
