Valerian Root Essential Oil
Eases Stress & Calms

Valerian root distilled from the root has been used for centuries. During the last three decades, it has been clinically investigated for its relaxing properties.

Researchers have pinpointed the sesquiterpenes, valerenic acid, and valerone as the active constituents that exert a calming and restorative effect on the central nervous system*. German health authorities have pronounced valerian to be an effective aid for the body's needs.*

The fragrance is very calming and grounding to the body and mind. It has a musty and woody aroma that most people either like or don’t like! But, animals seem to resonate very well with this oil.

Why is this Information Important? Well, believe it or not, some companies will substitute a species within the family where the fragrance is similar! But remember, then it will have different properties and uses, so please be aware of this. For example, many people may use Spikenard as a substitute. Spikenard is in the Valerian Family.

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

Valerian helps us get to root of our stress, nervous tension and/or the patterns and triggers that create it. When our mind is quiet and we are not concerned about the past of the future, we will receive clarity.

This will provide that sense of security and grounding we need, to find the calm in the storm so we can see what is right for us. Then the next step would be choosing a path that supports us in a healthier way rather than stressing about things that we can not control or change.

"Find the balance between what you need to do for you and what others are saying you need or should do-get to the root of your influence" -that is the message I received from the plant when I was writing this.

What are the Safety Precautions? First, only use therapeutic grade essential oils!

I typically use this oil in a blend that is pre-made to provide a balancing effect.
