Skullcap
EFFECTS
Skullcap derives its name from its ability to relieve tension headaches. An excellent herb for nervous tension and anxiety, it both relaxes and tones the whole nervous system; this is particularly useful with menstrual tension. In Chinese medicine, Skullcap is considered excellent for cooling the mind, liver and lungs. For this reason it promotes a state of meditation and calms an over-active mind.

Relaxes nervous tension and tonifies the nervous system. Used for PMS, stress, anxiety, migraines and hysteria.
Definitely feel more relaxed after a tea of skull cap paired with passion flower.
Had definitely helped me get to sleep on those restless nights.
I love skullcap, I have Essential tremors and it really helps relieve the shaking of my head.
Love to relax after a hardworking day on my feet ready close to bed . Smells n taste great
Hi Tina, Thank you for the review! So glad to hear you are enjoying the Skullcap. Cheers!
Just started using and have noticed that l am sleeping better
Both myself and my partner have found this product to be a useful in easing headaches.
I was pleasantly surprised at the almost instantaneous relief this herb provided, my partner was skeptical until I encouraged them to try it one evening, they too, were pleasantly surprised and pleased by the relief it provided.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to over the counter medications such as neurofen, Panadol and the likes.
