Scullcap tincture is an herbal remedy derived from the scullcap plant (Scutellaria lateriflora). It's been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Native American and later in Western herbalism.
Scullcap is perhaps best known for its traditional use as a mild sedative and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) herb. It's often used to promote relaxation and ease nervousness, relieving muscle spasms and tension.
Because of its calming properties, scullcap is sometimes used to help with insomnia or other sleep disturbances.
Some use scullcap for mild pain relief.
