For those people who are taking their attempts at handling addiction seriously, they will most likely try to go “cold turkey”, which often results in severe drug withdrawals. Some of the most common symptoms of this brutal period of recovery include insomnia, headaches, restless sleep, depression and nausea. Skullcap is an herb that is ideal in the treatment of all those symptoms. If you are going through withdrawals, not treating the symptoms can make things much worse. Skullcap should be available from most herbalists or health food stores, and should help ease the withdrawal from the drug of choice.
