Our organic valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) has been cherished in traditional herbalism for centuries as a grounding and restorative herb. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, valerian is a tall perennial that flourishes in moist meadows and woodland edges, producing clusters of soft pink and white flowers. Its roots, known for their earthy and distinctive aroma, are carefully harvested and dried to preserve their natural potency.
Valerian has long been valued in both European and Ayurvedic traditions as a herb that supports relaxation and balance. Often prepared as valerian tea or a tincture, it is a key ingredient in many herbal blends designed for rest and calm. The dried root has a rich, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with chamomile, lemon balm, or passionflower in evening infusions. Its taste isn’t for everyone, yet many sip it anyway for the deep sense of calm it provides. A little truly goes a long way.
Our organic valerian root is sourced from trusted growers who cultivate it in nutrient-rich soils and dry it at low temperatures to maintain its purity and quality.
How to enjoy:
Steep one teaspoon of dried root in hot water for 10–15 minutes for a soothing herbal infusion.
Precautions:
Avoid use with sedatives. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
