A quiet exhale in a bottle

Life doesn’t always slow down when we need it to. Skullcap Tincture offers a gentle herbal option for those moments when your nervous system could use a little extra care. Made with certified organic American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), this alcohol-free formula is traditionally used to support relaxation and help the body settle into a calmer rhythm.

This calming herb is known for its long-standing use in herbal traditions, particularly for easing emotional tension and helping the mind unwind. Unlike many sleep aids, skullcap doesn’t contain melatonin or cause grogginess the next morning. It’s a simple, sweet-tasting extract that can be taken on its own or added to a bit of water or tea.

Whether it’s part of your nighttime wind-down or just a way to take the edge off a stressful day, Skullcap Tincture is here to gently support your sense of peace without forcing anything.

Scutellaria lateriflora – a time-honored herb for calm

This tincture features American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), a gentle nervine herb often included in calming tea blends and herbal formulas for its soothing qualities. Traditionally used to help settle an overactive mind and ease tension, skullcap is not the same as Chinese skullcap, which is used for different purposes. This North American variety is known for being mild, supportive, and safe for daily use. With a naturally sweet taste and fast-absorbing liquid form, it’s a comforting addition to your wellness routine.

2 fl oz Bottle of Herb Lore Organic Skullcap Tincture with green label and dropper top, labeled alcohol-free and USDA organic.
