Valerian Root

4 oz Organic Valerian Root

Our Valerian root which comes from the hardy perennial Valeriana wallichii plant, can be found growing in Europe and Asia. Valerian Root is also commonly known as Wild Valerian, German Valerian or English Valerian, and comes in several different forms, which include cut and sifted and powdered. It grows in meadows and woodlands within moist, temperate climates and has since been naturalized in North America. The plant grows up to two meters high and produces small clusters of white or pink flowers. The flowers have a sweet, pleasant scent, in distinct contrast to the roots of the plant. The root system consists of a vertical rhizome and an abundance of smaller rootlets which are harvested and dried at temperatures less than 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Valeriana wallichii that we use in our dried herb preparations is certified kosher and organic. Organic certification is granted by Quality Assurance International, according to United States Department of Agriculture and National Organic Program guidelines.
