Valerian Root Tincture

Crafted with care using organically grown valerian root, this tincture may offer gentle, time-honored support for those struggling with anxiety, nervous tension, and sleeplessness. Valerian root has been used since the second century A.D. to soothe the nervous system and calm the mind—without the harsh side effects of synthetic alternatives.

Known as “nature’s tranquilizer,” valerian may work by increasing levels of GABA in the brain, helping to ease stress, quiet racing thoughts, and promote restful sleep. Its calming effects can also make it useful for addressing nervous restlessness, exhaustion, stomach cramps, and tension headaches.

Valerian Root Tincture may be ideal for those who have trouble falling asleep due to anxiety or overthinking. Whether you’re facing the weight of a stressful day or simply need help unwinding at night, this all-natural remedy helps support a relaxing, deep rest.

Organically grown. Purely effective. Gentle on your body.
