Have you ever felt overwhelmed by thoughts that seem to race around your mind with no sign of slowing down?
This week, let me introduce you to a herb who has a wonderful action that helps to calm those racing thoughts down and gives you a chance to catch up, the beautiful skullcap.
Skullcap is known to be a nervine tonic herb, this means that it offers support to the nervous system acting to improve overall function allowing you to feel more calm and relaxed.1
Not only does skullcap work to support the function of your nervous system, it has been shown that a single dose was able to have pronounced effects on anxiety over a two hour period.2
If you have been feeling overwhelmed lately and need some help to calm those racing thoughts down, our team at herbs on the hill would love to work with you in finding the best ways to support you.
