Valerian Essential Oil 10ml

Valerian Essential Oil — 10ml

Valerian has been used as a natural sedative and sleep remedy since ancient Greece and Rome — Hippocrates described its properties, and Galen prescribed it for insomnia. During the First and Second World Wars, it was used to ease the nerve stress of soldiers and civilians alike. Steam-distilled from the root of Valeriana officinalis, it yields an oil with a deep, earthy, musky, slightly woody aroma that is distinctive and powerful — an acquired scent that speaks to its potency as a therapeutic agent. It is one of the most studied natural remedies for sleep and anxiety.
