Valerian - Valeriana officinalis 5ml

Valerian is a perennial flowering plant with a documented history of use extending back to ancient Greek and Roman times. One of the oldest and most studied benefits of Valerian essential oil is its ability to improve the quality of sleep. The plant name Valerian comes from the Latin valere meaning ‘to be well’. Valerian essential oil is steam distilled from valerian root, rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols, known for their soothing properties. 

Valerian essential oil can be used aromatically and topically for its calming and easing properties. The strong, grounding aroma of Valerian essential oil can be softened when blended with other essential oils including Green Mandarin, Wild Orange, Lavender, and Rosemary.
Uses:
Diffuse as part of your nighttime routine.
Dilute with a carrier oil and apply topically on the back of the neck or bottoms of the feet at bedtime.
Add a few drops to bathwater for a relaxing soak.
