skullcap tincture

Scutellaria lateriflora 

Freshly harvested above ground parts tinctured 1:2 @95% in organic cane alcohol. 

Nervine, Anodyne, Hypnotic, Anti-Anxiety + Antispasmodic

A Venusian remedy for help getting back to the path of the heart + love. 

A balm for worried minds, tensions that never seem to end, tangled emotions, and blues of the bluest blue. This is the perfect friend to go to for those wanting to curb addictive behavior, for relief from DT's and insomnia in general, but especially for those in recovery. 

I love taking this when I need to get back to sleep after children or dogs howl in the night. Skullcap is very comforting with a strength that's hard to name. Pairs well with passionflower, holy basil, california poppy, milky oats, lavender, ashwagandha + wood betony. 

Also excellent for those who get overstimulated easily or are just super sensitive and open in general. 

Also, if alcohol is a trigger, there are some amazing brands that make this as a glycerite! 

In the garden, skullcap loves part shade and plenty of water!
