Valerian Root Organic Essential Oil

Valerian Essential Oil, extracted from the roots of Valeriana officinalis, has been used for centuries for its deeply calming properties.

Its musky, earthy scent, though intense, plays a key role in grounding emotions and promoting relaxation. This oil is often incorporated into blends that ease stress, restlessness, and promote a serene mental state, making it an excellent addition to evening routines.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
