Description
Valerian derives its name from the Latin word valere, meaning 'to be in good health' or 'to make strong'. It's native to Europe and parts of Asia, has been used in Persia since the 10th century, and has since been naturalized to North America where it grows in moist, nutrient rich meadows.
Most people don't liek the smell of Valerian once it has aged a bit - but fresh, high quality Valerian that is properly cleaned (like what you'll find in this package) is palatable and somewhat floral. Make a relaxing tea, add strong decoction to bathwater, and incorporate into salves, or make tinctures.
