Skullcap | Organic
Discover the profound calming properties of our Organic Cut and Sifted Skullcap Herb. More than just a vibrant green botanical with a mild, earthy aroma, Skullcap is a revered nervine, traditionally used to soothe the nervous system, alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of tranquil relaxation.
A Powerful Herb for Mind & Body
Valued in herbalism for its dual actions, Skullcap offers holistic benefits:
-
A Renowned Nervine: Gently helps to ease tension, quiet the mind, and support restful sleep, making it a perfect evening tea.
-
A Gentle Bitter: Its subtly bitter notes stimulate digestion, helping to alleviate occasional discomfort and support gut health.
-
Versatile Culinary Uses: Brew a soothing tea, or add its earthy, slightly sweet flavor to soups, salads, and infused oils.
Steeped in Fascinating History
Known by many names like Helmet Flower or Mad Dogweed, Skullcap’s history is as rich as its benefits.
Fun Fact: In the late eighteenth century, it was famously (though incorrectly) touted as a cure for rabies, which is the origin of its folk name "Mad Dogweed." Today, we cherish it not for that, but for its genuine, time-tested role in supporting calm and wellness.
