Our Mad Dog Skullcap Honey Extract is meticulously crafted using fresh, all natural, "using organic methods", sustainably grown aerial parts harvested at their peak potency. Traditionally, Skullcap has been revered for promoting relaxation, supporting restful sleep, and maintaining a calm and balanced nervous system. It has a rich history in herbal traditions for easing occasional tension, stress, and nervous system fatigue.
Among various Indigenous communities in North America, Skullcap has held an important place in herbal practice. The Cherokee, for example, used Skullcap as a ceremonial plant, including it in purification rituals and as a traditional woman’s medicine¹ .
It was also employed to soothe nervous tension, ease menstrual discomfort, and support transitions such as postpartum recovery.² The Iroquois reportedly prepared infusions of Skullcap to calm the spirit and support mental well-being.³These traditional uses reflect a deep-rooted understanding of the herb’s gentle yet grounding properties.

Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
