Scullcap Tincture (Scutellaria lateriflora)

A lanky, edge-dwelling herb that loves moist soil, scullcap is a reliable ally for calming the mind and relieving anxiety. A relaxing nervine and sedative, scullcap can be used as a tonic to lift the mood, insomnia and tension headaches that stem from chronic stress.

As a very bitter herb, scullcap may be used as a tonic to help heal gut dysbiosis that compounds mental health woes such as anxiety and depression. Lean on scullcap to take the edge off of symptoms of PMS for the mood lifting aspects as well as antispasmodic qualities that can relieve uterine contractions (cramps).

Scullcap is associated with the planet Saturn. Inspiring love and fidelity, scullcap brings commitment and peace to relationships and brings opposites to balance.

The aerial parts of the scullcap plant are harvested, cut and steeped in alcohol for at least 8 weeks, then strained and bottled.
