Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a sedating herb that has traditionally been used for insomnia, to calm nervous tension and to help relieve pain. This root can be especially helpful for easing GI or menstrual cramps. This is freshly tinctured valerian which is less sedating than dried valerian- which means it’s less likely to leave you groggy the next morning!*

We grow Valerian plants in a raised bed to help to keep them from gophers who seem to love this herb! Valerian puts out beautiful stalks of flowers in late Spring and the roots are tinctured in the Fall once the flowers have died back. Although Valerian is know for its pungent odor, fresh Valerian root smells a bit of perfume and the tincture does too.

Contains: Fresh Valerian root, cane alcohol, water
