Valerian
Valeriana officinalis
From the Latin 'valere' meaning 'to be well', valerian is a perennial flowering plant with pink blossoms that bloom in the spring when the plant roots are harvested. One of the oldest and most well-studied qualities of Valerian essential oil is its ability to support restful feelings, dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. The oil itself is steam distilled from valerian root, rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols, known for their relaxing properties. Valerian essential oil may help to calm and ease during moments of unrest and provide a grounding, earthy aroma when used in recipes and at-home remedies.
