Skullcap is a dried herb from Scutellaria lateriflora , traditionally valued in Western herbalism for calm evening routines, de-stress blends and bedtime teas. It has a clean, green taste with soft earthy notes and blends smoothly with chamomile, lemon balm or a small amount of valerian. The cut herb infuses quickly and can also be used in tincture-style extracts and infused oils for DIY salves or lotions.
♡ Why we love it: Skullcap is mild, soothing and easy to blend. It brings quiet composure to evening teas without overpowering the cup.

I love the way the product looked when it arrived and as a tea it gives a really calming effect on the body, all the products I've received I'm really happy to say that I chose essentially natural over other options, due to the fact that it was neat and looked like a well dried herb, and with the informative leaflet it comes with.
