Warm, woody and powerfully distinctive — with a deep, damp earthiness, a musky, balsamic warmth and a rich, slightly animalic depth — Valerian is one of the most unusual, characterful and deeply grounding essential oils in professional aromatherapy, and one of the most potent and respected sedative botanicals in the natural wellness world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eValerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least ancient Greece and Rome — Hippocrates described its properties, and Galen later prescribed it as a remedy for insomnia. Its name is believed to derive from the Latin 'valere', meaning 'to be strong' or 'to be well' — a fitting tribute to a botanical whose therapeutic reputation has endured for over two thousand years. In medieval Europe, Valerian was one of the most widely used and trusted medicinal herbs, used to calm the nerves, ease anxiety and promote deep, restorative sleep. During the Second World War, Valerian root preparations were used in England to relieve the stress and anxiety of air raids.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe essential oil of Valerian is steam distilled from the roots of the plant — the same part used in traditional herbal medicine — and carries the full, characteristic aromatic intensity of the root in concentrated form. Its famously deep, earthy and pungent aroma is an acquired taste in the diffuser, but its deeply grounding, calming and sedative aromatic character makes it a uniquely valued and effective oil in professional aromatherapy blending, where small amounts can add an extraordinary depth and grounding quality to sleep, relaxation and stress-relief formulations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_3ycjt_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valeriana Officinalis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roots\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eastern Europe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam Distillation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_3ycjt_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiffusion\/Oil Burner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 1–2 drops only — Valerian has an exceptionally powerful and distinctive aroma; blend with softer, sweeter oils such as Lavender, Bergamot or Cedarwood to balance its intensity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleep \u0026amp; relaxation blending:\u003c\/strong\u003e A valued ingredient in professional sleep, relaxation and stress-relief blends — use in very small amounts as a grounding base note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlending:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blends well with Lavender, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Vetiver, Patchouli and other woody, resinous or floral essential oils — use sparingly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always dilute thoroughly with a carrier oil before any topical application\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCautions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Possible skin sensitivity.
