Skullcap Liquid Extract

We hand harvest flowering Skullcap plants from Avena's Garden and immediately tincture them in organic alcohol. The name Skullcap refers to the tiny cap-like buds which fairies have been known to wear to sleep. Traditionally, this herb is regarded as an excellent nerve tonic, specific for easing nervous exhaustion, nervous tremors, stress headaches, insomnia and anxiety with muscle tightness. Especially helpful for PMS or menopausal stress and anxiety.* Skullcap can be combined with Oats, Lemon Balm, and Lavender to ease acute stress.*

Avena’s organic Biodynamic® gardens produce 70% of the herbs used in our products. We apply organic compost and Biodynamic® preparations to nourish the soil and hand harvest our herbs following seasonal cycles. Some herbs are respectfully wildcrafted or organically grown by others who share our philosophy of care and respect for our Mother Earth. Each herb is mixed with spring water and organic pure grain alcohol to ensure the full range of plant constituents is extracted.
