Skullcap is a medicinal plant that’s long been used for healing purposes, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Skullcap is a member of the mint family, and gets it name from the shape resembling a medieval helmet - and its benefits for brain and mind-associated issues. This herb has been used as an alternative medicine to help heal inflammation, provide relief from spasms, stimulate blood flow in the pelvic region, encourage menstruation, help eliminate headaches and as a sedative for relaxation.
