Rest + Soothe
Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) is one of the most respected calming herbs in Western herbalism, traditionally used to support restful sleep, ease nervous system tension, and promote a sense of deep relaxation. With roots in ancient Greek and Roman medicine, Valerian has long been valued as a gentle yet effective ally for calming the mind, relaxing the body, and supporting the natural sleep cycle as a natural sleep aid
Known for its grounding and sedative properties, Valerian is traditionally used to ease occasional anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disturbances without leaving a groggy aftereffect.* It is especially supportive during periods of overstimulation, emotional stress, or difficulty unwinding at the end of the day.* Valerian may also support muscle relaxation and overall nervous system balance when taken regularly as part of a calming routine.
