Skullcap extract

I grow the Mad Dog variety, with blue- purple trumpet shaped flowers. Skullcap is a native, perennial, wild flower to this continent, likes to bloom from July - September. I gather aerial parts before and during flowering, always leaving some to keep growing. I started some from seed readily, and this cutie is taking over a container.

A member of the mint family, always keep these babes boundaried and in containers, trust us. 

I'll get some great, close up pictures of the flowers this year. It kinda looks like bugleweed, also a cutie and generous plant teacher. 

 

​use to address any conditions associated with depressive/exhaustive states, chronic stress,

ease PMS symptoms and endometriosis,

soothing nervous excitability, especially those with a tendency for excitability that doesn't move as needed,

difficulty sleeping, getting back to sleep, - especially in combination with your other sleep helpers (valerian, passionflower. I like to combine with blue vervain)

nerve spasms, helps relax the musculoskeletal tension. 

Ever feel stuck in a situation? Or have a tendency to ruminate over your worries? Skully can help, freshly tinctured, or drinking dried aerials alone or with other plants. 

Soothes nervous tension while renewing the nervous system _ which is extra rad. 

 I was talking with another herbalist about this beautiful plant's indications for supporting the super power of neurodivergence . . . .   let's compare notes some time?​

​Directions: Shake bottle. Add 1-3 drops at bedtime/1-3 times a day/as needed to water or tea, or direct. Store in a cool, dry place. 

I think Skully is best used regularly, and encourage your adventure directly with this lovely plant to see what best works for you, including increasing dosage if needed.

Ingredients: homegrown organic skullcap aerial parts, alcohol, 1 oz glass dropper bottle.

Caution with sedative medications. This is a relaxant, not a sedative, but it can enhance the effects of other nervine actions.
