Hi Helen, I don’t have any information on whether extracts of Skunk Cabbage are used today for epilepsy or other conditions. While Native Americans used Skunk Cabbage traditionally, they had to handle/process it a specific way, as Skunk Cabbage can be toxic. I don’t know how to find specific information on how it was used, or whether it was effective. The best of luck in finding optimal treatments for your daughter.

You are quite welcome, Scott! We are learning so much about the park and its inhabitants- it is fun to share what we learn.
