Scullcap Flower

Scullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)

Native to North America this flower is valued for its gentle sedative properties that help quiet the mind and relax the body, traditionally used to ease anxiety, nervous tension, and mild insomnia. Rich in flavonoids, skullcap may support restful sleep, reduce stress, and soothe muscle spasms, pain, inflammation, tremors, convulsions and insomnia.

Scullcap Tea Recipe:

Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried skullcap leaves in 1 cup of hot water for 5–10 minutes. Strain and drink before bed to promote deep relaxation.

For anxiety, tremors or nerve problems, take every night for a few weeks. This plant works better over time as it gets deeper into your system.

Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant or on medication.
