Plus: Enjoy 15% Off Skullcap All Month Long

Looking to relax, unwind, and ease daytime stress without losing focus? Meet Skullcap, our featured herb for July. This gentle but effective plant has long been used in Western herbal traditions to calm the nerves, soothe anxiety, and support emotional balance—while keeping the mind clear and alert.

Skullcap is especially appreciated as a natural alternative to cannabis. It offers a similar sense of deep body relaxation, but without the psychoactive effects of THC. You can enjoy the mellow feeling without the mental fog or impairment, making it a great option for those seeking calm without the high.

How to Use Skullcap

Although Skullcap has traditionally been smoked, we recommend gentler and more effective ways to enjoy its benefits. One of the easiest and most enjoyable is as a herbal tea. To prepare, simply steep one to two teaspoons of dried Skullcap in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain and drink. The result is a mild, earthy infusion that’s perfect for winding down during the day or evening.

Another excellent method is through a dry herb aromatherapy vaporizer. Set your device to a temperature between 150 and 180 degrees Celsius (302 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit). This gently releases Skullcap’s calming compounds without burning the herb, offering a clean and immediate way to relax.

Blending Skullcap with Other Herbs

Skullcap works well on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with other calming botanicals. For a deeper relaxation effect, consider combining it with herbs like Damiana, which offers uplifting mood support, Passionflower, known for easing tension and helping with sleep, or Blue Lotus, which brings a dreamy, mildly euphoric quality. These blends can be used either as tea or in your vaporizer, depending on your preference.
