-What is Valerian Root?-
Our valerian is the coarsely chopped root of Valeriana Officinalis, a flowering plant with sweetly scented white or pink flowers that grows around the world. It has been used as a medicinal herb for humans since the time of ancient Greece and Rome.
Cats love the root of this plant! It contains two naturally occurring active oils- actinidine and valeric acid. Valeric acid acts similarly to a cat pheromone, while actinidine is structurally similar to the nepetalactone in catnip. Cats react to actinidine similarly to how most react to catnip... with great enthusiasm!
Cats will find the stinky cheese, hint of mint, wet earth-esque scent of Valerian root irresistible.The smell can be a little pungent at first, but up close it smells nice! Your cat will especially think so.
