Valerian Root essential oil is extracted from the roots of Valeriana officinalis, a perennial flowering plant that is native to Europe and Asia. This oil is renowned for its relaxing and sedative properties, which can help alleviate insomnia and restlessness. Additionally, it is an excellent antispasmodic that can help relieve muscular cramps and relax muscles.
When used aromatically, Valerian Root oil is known for its unique and strong aroma. Some people describe its odor as unpleasant, comparing it to the smell of dirty socks. However, the smell is subjective and can differ from person to person. To us, this oil has a potent, sweet, earthy aroma with a slightly sour grape-like note.
It is important to use Valerian Root oil with care as it is a very strong aroma-therapeutic oil. It should be blended with frugality to avoid overpowering the other oils in the blend. When used in the appropriate amount, this oil can be a valuable addition to any relaxation or muscle-relaxing blend.
