Herbalists have historically turned to skullcap when the mind feels overstimulated, tense, or unable to settle into rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"313\" data-end=\"687\"\u003eIt is often described as a nervine, meaning it supports and nourishes the nervous system. Skullcap has traditionally been used to help ease nervous tension, quiet racing thoughts, and support a sense of mental and emotional calm. Rather than creating heavy sedation, it is often appreciated for helping the body gently unwind when stress or overstimulation has built up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"980\"\u003eMany herbalists consider skullcap especially helpful for people who feel mentally wired but physically exhausted, when the body is tired, but the mind keeps running.
