Why Choose Our Organic Skullcap Extract?
Skullcap, sometimes called American Skullcap, is a flowering member of the mint family native to North America. It produces delicate blue-violet flowers and has long been cultivated for its aerial parts, which are traditionally used in herbal preparations.
This tincture is produced using a 1:2 extraction ratio, meaning one part of organic skullcap herb is extracted into two parts of the liquid extract. This creates a concentrated tincture that is easy to measure and use.
Our tincture contains only organic skullcap herb, organic alcohol and purified water, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
History of Use
Skullcap has a long history of traditional use among Native American communities, who valued the herb for its calming properties. During the 18th and 19th centuries it became widely adopted by American Eclectic physicians and later by Western herbal practitioners.
For generations, herbalists have regarded skullcap as one of the classic “nervine” herbs, traditionally used to support the nervous system during times of temporary stress, nervous tension and restlessness. It has also commonly appeared in traditional herbal combinations alongside herbs such as oat tops, passionflower and valerian.
Today, skullcap continues to be one of the most recognised herbs in Western herbal practice and remains popular with those seeking traditional botanical support for relaxation and wellbeing.
