Valerian

Valeriana officinalis

Derived from the Latin word “valere,” meaning “to be well,” Valerian is the name of a pink flowering perennial plant that blooms in the spring, which is typically when the root of the plant is harvested. One of the oldest and most studied properties of Valerian essential oil, dating all the way back to ancient Greek and Roman times, is its ability to promote feelings of calmness. The oil itself is steam distilled from the plant’s roots, which are rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols, known for their relaxing properties. Valerian essential oil can help calm and soothe during moments of unease, and when used in cooking or home remedies, it offers a balancing, earthy aroma.
