Price range: $22.99 through $32.99

  • Traditionally used to support restful sleep, ease tension, and calm the nervous system

Some days ask more of you than others — mentally, emotionally, and physically. Skullcap Tincture is here to help your nervous system exhale. This certified organic, alcohol-free formula features skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), an herb known for its calming, anti-spasmodic, and muscle-relaxing properties.

It’s a favorite for those restless nights when your brain won’t shut off, your body’s wired but tired, or you’re simply wound a little too tight. Skullcap has been traditionally used to ease tension, soothe headaches, and support deeper, more refreshing sleep — without grogginess in the morning.

This gentle herb is non-habit-forming, and it’s safe for adults and children over one year old. Many families keep it by the bedside for those “can’t sleep, need help now” kind of nights. Just take 1–2 droppersful under the tongue, close your eyes, and let the calm roll in.

Do not give to infants.

For Adults:
Take 1–2 droppersful under the tongue as needed for relaxation or before sleep. You can also add it to a small amount of water or juice if preferred.

For Children Over 1 year of Age:
Give the appropriate number of drops outlined in the Children’s Dosage Chart.

For bedtime support, keep the bottle by your bedside. If you wake during the night, take a dose under the tongue and ease yourself back to sleep.

This tincture is non-habit-forming and can be used occasionally or daily, depending on your needs.

Certified Organic Skullcap Leaf extracted in Certified Organic vegetable glycerine and distilled water.

Herb Lore Skullcap Supplement Facts

The following chart offers general dosage suggestions based on age.  For little ones, a little goes a long way — and when in doubt, start small.

12 to 18 months — 7 drops
18 to 24 months — 8 drops
2 to 3 years — 10 drops
3 to 4 years — 12 drops
4 to 6 years — 15 drops
6 to 9 years — 24 drops
9 to 12 years — 30 drops

Other ways to determine dosage:
Young’s Rule – Add 12 to the child’s age. Divide the child’s age by this total. Example: dosage for a 4 year old: 4 divided by 16 (4+12) = .25, or 1/4 of the adult dosage.

Cowling’s Rule – Divide the number of the child’s next birthday by 24. Example: dosage for a child who is 3, turning 4 would be: 4 divided by 24 = .16, or 1/6 of the adult dosage.
