Valerian Root Tincture is a time-tested herbal remedy known for its calming, sedative effects—ideal for supporting restful sleep, easing anxiety, and relaxing the nervous system.
🌿 What Is Valerian Root Tincture?
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a flowering plant native to Europe and Asia, traditionally used for centuries to promote deep relaxation and natural sleep. Its root contains compounds like valerenic acid and isovaleric acid, which interact with GABA receptors in the brain to help reduce nervous tension and support a sense of calm.
