Valerian is well known for its strong, distinct aroma, which only develops after the roots are dried. One of the most calming and deeply relaxing herbs we know of, valerian is often used in bedtime formulas and sleep pillows.

The Plant: Valerian was used for more than 2,000 years in a variety of ways -- including as a food, medicinal herb, perfume and spice. Its modern uses are related to its relaxing effects on people and animals.

TOP QUALITY VALERIAN ROOT - Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is a plant native to Europe and Asia. It's popular for its strong and distinct aroma that originates from its dried roots. This is a calming herb common in bedtime teas and sleep pillows.

FLEXIBLE INGREDIENT IN TEAS AND OTHER DISHES - Besides brewing with tea or adding to bathwater for a relaxing soak, this product is often used in cooking as a spice. It adds a unique flavor to any food such as soups and stews.
