Valerian essential oil, distilled from the roots of the perennial valerian plant, encapsulates centuries of healing tradition and mystique. With its origins rooted in Europe and Asia and its widespread presence in North America, Valerian has long been revered for its medicinal and magical properties. Derived from the Latin word "valere," meaning "to be well," this oil embodies its namesake's promise of wellness. Its rich composition of sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols lends it potent relaxing properties, offering respite from anxiety and stress, especially during tumultuous times like World War II. Beyond its physical benefits, Valerian serves as a conduit for mental clarity and spiritual connection, easing mental stress, enhancing concentration and fostering a deep communion with the wisdom of the earth. Associated with goddess Bast and revered for its protective qualities, Valerian essential oil not only soothes the body but also enchants the spirit, aligning with the Earth Star chakra to ground and harmonise individuals with the natural world.
