WHAT IS IT?

A member of the Lamiaceae family, this plant has a long history of use in western botanical medicine. It is used to support exhausted nerves resulting from mental and physical exhaustion, maintain normal balance in times of muscular tension, and to support normal sleep patterns. It is trophorestorative to the nervous system meaning it restores nutrition uptake to the nerves. Like most herbs in the mint family, it is cooling yet has bitter principles and other complex chemicals making it a balanced choice as a gentle nervine.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Skullcap has a calming and relaxing effect on the body and can be used during the day to restore balance to an overworked individual, or in the evening to promote normal healthy sleep. It should be noted that many herbalists traditionally prefer American Skullcap preparations made from the fresh plant parts.
