Skullcap Tincture

Skullcap, Scutellaria lateriflora, is a member of the mint family. Early European immigrants learned the use of skullcap from Native Americans, who had traditionally utilized the botanical as soothing tea for supporting the nerves. Our skullcap extract is crafted with organic skullcap leaves and alcohol. Somewhat bitter and verdant in flavor, it can be combined with a variety of extracts including valerian, passionflower, or chamomile. Skullcap tincture is commonly taken in water or juice or added to teas such as peace tea or evening repose tea for a healthful boost.
