Valerian root

Description

The unique, specific aroma of valerian comes from the root, as the flowers and leaves have almost none of this sweet scent. This plant has long been known as a sedative – it reduces fear, anxiety, restlessness, and nervous tension, while improving sleep. Valerian root is also used for gastrointestinal muscle spasms, as well as to promote the secretion of enzyme-rich digestive juices, dilate blood vessels, and lower blood pressure.

USAGE: To prepare beneficial valerian root tea, it’s usually recommended to use one teaspoon of dried roots and one cup of water – and boil for 10 minutes.
