Product Details

Historical Uses:
Skullcap has a long history of use by Native American tribes for its calming effects on the nervous system, particularly in cases of anxiety and nervous tension. It was also used in early American medicine for treating conditions such as hysteriarabies, and convulsions—which is how it earned the nickname Mad Dog Skullcap. Historically, it was often given to individuals suffering from nervous disorders to soothe the mind and promote sleep.

Current Uses:

  • Nervous system support: Skullcap is widely used today to address anxietystress, and nervous tension. It is known for its ability to calm frazzled nerves without causing drowsiness.
  • Sleep aid: While not as sedative as other herbs, Skullcap is often used as a mild sleep aid, particularly for individuals whose insomnia is caused by overthinking or mental stress.
  • Headache relief: Skullcap is also used to relieve tension headaches, especially those associated with stress or emotional overwhelm.
  • Muscle relaxation: Known for its antispasmodic properties, Skullcap can help relieve muscle tension and spasms, making it beneficial for muscular pain or cramps.
