10ml Valerian Essential Oil

Latin Name : Valeriana officinalis

Part of Plant Used : Roots

Origin: Eastern Europe

Extraction Method : Steam Distillation

Valerian essential oil possesses a deeply earthy, woody, and somewhat musky aroma that can be quite grounding, though it's often described as intensely pungent. Imagine the scent of damp roots and aged wood, with a heavy, sweet undertone that some find reminiscent of old cheese or hay. This distinctive and powerful fragrance comes from the steam distillation of the roots of the Valeriana officinalis plant.

Historically, valerian root has been prized for its calming and sedative properties, and the essential oil carries these attributes as well. It is most commonly used to promote relaxation, ease nervous tension, and support restful sleep. While its aroma can be strong, many find its effects on the mind and body to be deeply soothing and beneficial.

Due to its potent scent, valerian essential oil is typically used in very small dilutions and is often blended with other essential oils to create a more balanced aroma. It's a powerful tool for those seeking natural support for relaxation and sleep, despite its less conventionally appealing fragrance. Its effectiveness often outweighs its strong scent for those who appreciate its therapeutic benefits.
