        Would there be any contradictions if you accidentally got some lobelia mixed in with skullcap?  I should have got the cardinalis …they look so similar until they have their seed pods….I know the difference now.  I just forgot which one was planted where(they are in pots, some of which have been moved numerous times) and mistook lobelia for skullcap when harvesting and I didn’t notice until they were dried, it’s much harder to see which is who when they are dry.

          They can be used together. Lobelia is a great antispasmodic and skullcap is a great nervine so I often use them at the same time for pain cases.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
