Scutellaria barbata has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat several illnesses including certain types of cancer. Researchers at the University of Salford found that the extract of Scutellaria barbata (Skullcap barbat) starves tumors.

The extract is very selective in targeting only blood vessels associated with the tumor, leaving normal vessels that feed healthy tissue unharmed.
