Traditional Use
Valerian has been used for centuries in traditional Western and European herbalism. Traditionally taken as part of an evening wellness routine or for general nervine support. Best results come from consistent daily use over 2 to 4 weeks rather than as an occasional addition. We make no medical claims.
How to Use
Take 1 to 2 dropperfuls in water 30 to 60 minutes before bed as part of an evening wellness routine. Shake well before use. Valerian has a strong, earthy smell. That's normal and a sign of the active compounds in the plant.
What's In It
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) extracted in grain alcohol and distilled water. No fillers, no additives. Available in 1 oz and 2 oz dropper bottles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does valerian smell so strong?
Valerian root has a distinctive, pungent earthy odor from the isovaleric acid and valerenic acid it naturally contains. A strong smell is a sign of quality and potency. Mix into juice or strong-tasting water if the flavor bothers you.
How long before I notice anything?
Some people notice a difference in their evening routine within the first week. Valerian is traditionally used consistently over 2 to 4 weeks for cumulative effect. Don't judge it by the first day.
Can I combine this with the Anxious Blend?
Valerian is one of the ingredients in our Anxious Blend. If you're already using the Anxious Blend and want a stronger evening valerian addition, taking valerian extract in the evening is a reasonable approach. Don't combine with prescription medications without consulting your healthcare provider.
