Valerian root has a long history of traditional use in herbal medicine, going back over 2,000 years through ancient Greek and Roman practice and the European herbal tradition. Our tincture is made from quality valerian root, extracted in small batches on our farm in Opp, Alabama.
If you've heard of valerian and want to try it as part of a traditional herbal routine, this is one of the most time-tested places to start.
Traditional Use
Valerian has been used for centuries in traditional Western and European herbalism. Tradition favors steady daily use over the occasional dose. We make no medical claims.
How to Use
Take 1 to 2 dropperfuls in water. Shake well before use. Valerian has a strong, earthy smell. That's normal. It comes from the root's natural oils.
What's In It
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), sourced from a trusted supplier and extracted in alcohol. No 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 a well-made extract. Mix into juice or strong-tasting water if the flavor bothers you.
How is valerian traditionally taken?
Steadily, over weeks, rather than as a single dose.
How do you make it?
Two ways. Some batches soak for six weeks. Others go through our extraction machine, which does that work in a day. Every bottle is made here on the farm in Opp.
