Valerian Root Extract 2oz (60ml)
Valeriana officinalis is a member of the Caprifoliaceae family and known for its general calming effects.
Valerian promotes natural relaxation and helps in coping with stress.*
The roots have a pungent odor, considered unpleasant by many and sometimes compared to the smell of sweaty socks. Cats are highly attracted to the scent in the same way that they are catnip, having a tendency to bite the root and rub against it.
Despite the strong odor, valerian root has been used since the times of ancient Greece and in traditional European folk practices.
Caution is advised during the use of barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and other sedative drugs, as valerian has the potential to increase the effects of some sedatives. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
