Aromatherapy with Valerian root essential oil

Research has found that Valerian root grown at higher altitudes has higher concentrations of valeptorates, one of the primary compounds responsible for this oil's therapeutic effects. Highly sedative in action.

It is one of the most widely used natural sedatives in Europe and is commonly used to aid relaxation and to help treat insomnia. Valerian Root essential oil has a rich, deep, woody, musky (dirty sock) aroma that you’ll either love or hate.

Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times. Both Hippocrates and Galen recommended Valerian as a remedy for insomnia and it has been used for similar purposes in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Valerian was also used in many traditional love potions and aphrodisiacs.

The name Valerian is derived from the Latin verb 'valere' which means 'to be well' or 'to feel good'. The name reflects the medicinal properties of the herb which was also known to herbalists as 'all heal'.
 
Expect to pay about $25.00 for an ounce of Valerian Root Essential Oil

Have a great day!
