Valeriana officinalis , steam distilled root, China
This high altitude oil naturally contains more effective components than, for instance, Valerian grown in China. Research has found that Valerian root grown at higher altitudes have higher concentrations of valeptorates, one of the primary compounds responsible for this oil’s therapeutic effects. Highly sedative in action. Due to its "dirty-socks" smell it is not an oil for perfumery.
As a relaxing/sleep inducing blend it has no equal.
It is also known to calm down dogs and cats, although cats do tend to be more sensitive to essential oils than dogs. Use with caution on dogs and cats. Avoid use on sensitive & couperose skin. Useful for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Avoid in pregnancy and with babies and children. Blends well with any citrus essential oil, as well as any of the conifers.
