Dried Skullcap Herb – Calming Nervous System Support for Tension, Sleep & Hormonal Balance

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) is a gentle yet effective nervine traditionally used to calm the nervous system, ease muscular tension, and support restorative sleep. It is especially valued for its ability to soothe nervous exhaustion, anxiety, and PMS-related irritability.

Our dried skullcap is carefully harvested and naturally air-dried to retain its subtle bitterness and nervine potency. A valuable addition to herbal teas and tincture blends, skullcap brings the body and mind back into a state of rest and regulation—without causing drowsiness or mental fog.

Key Benefits:
– Calms the nervous system and eases anxiety
– Relieves muscle spasms, menstrual tension, and jaw clenching
– Promotes deep, uninterrupted sleep
– Supports hormonal regulation through nervous system balance
– Traditionally used to ease emotional overwhelm and mental burnout
