Skullcap may sound like a scary name, but this gentle plant has been used as a natural remedy for centuries. This incredible plant may benefit pets, too. Holistic vets and wellness experts love using skullcap for dogs, cats, and other critters thanks to its calmness-promoting effects.
Our expert herbalist and holistic vet have added Skullcap to Resthyro for a gentle boost
What is Skullcap
This purple-flowered beauty is part of the mint family, and it grows in temperate climates all around the world. The name skullcap refers to the medieval helmets that resemble skullcap’s flowers. Imagine your pup or cat rocking one of those!
It also has a long history of use as a medicinal plant by Indigenous peoples in North America, in traditional Chinese medicine, and as a folk remedy to help calm rabies patients.
Botanically, Skullcap is rich in flavonoids. Research suggests that flavanoids can act as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer compound as well as promoting calmness.
Benefits of Skullcap for Dogs and Cats
Nowadays, holistic vets use this wonder herb to help calm and relax hyperactive pets, like in the case of hyperthyroidism.
If you have a pet with hyperthyroidism, you may have already noticed that they can never seem to relax. Why? Hyperthyroidism affects the hormones that regulate energy levels. Because rest and sleep play a huge role in how bodies repair themselves, using a calmness-promoting supplement can help.
Skullcap can promote this needed balance in our fur-babies. Because it is an herbal remedy, it can be used alongside your vet’s recommendations.
Skullcap’s Role in Resthyro
We put a full-spectrum extract of skullcap in Resthyro for hyperthyroidism support. It works great alongside valerian, which is also in the Resthyro formula, to promote calmness, relaxation, and sleep.
Like the name suggests, hyperthyroidism primarily affects the thyroid, so Resthyro has ingredients that can help to balance this gland. Eleuthero, Lemon Balm, and Bugleweed offer gentle yet effective thyroid support.
How to Start Skullcap for Dogs, Cats, and Other Critters
Choosing a supplement or a kit that contains natural calming ingredients like skullcap can help soothe hyperactivity in pets with hyperthyroidism. Our master herbalist and holistic vets have added Skullcap to Resthyro for that gentle boost, along with six other calming and thyroid balancing ingredients.

Hyperthyroidism is a common condition seen in middle-aged to older cats. This condition is exceedingly rare in dogs. Hyperthyroidism is caused when there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. As the thyroid hormones control the function of nearly all the organs, it is common to see secondary health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, and kidney disease.
Common Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism in Cats:
- Weight loss
- Increased appetite
- Increased thirst and urination
- Poor fur condition
- Possible vomiting and diarrhea
