Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) in the valerian family of botanical plants. This herb has been highly esteemed since medieval times and used to be call “all heal.” The fragrance is rather unpleasant for most people but when mixed with other more pleasant-smelling oils it can be tolerated. It is best used in very small amounts–too much can dull the senses. The fragrance is that of “dirty socks.” The oil is produced by steam distillation of the roots of the plant and today comes from Belgium, Croatia, and France.
Traditionally in Europe it has been used for cholera, epilepsy and for skin complains. In China it was used for backache, colds, menstrual problems, bruises and sores. Hildegard of Bingen used it to treat pleurisy and gout in the 12th century. Through the ages, it was been used for insomnia, migraines, dysmenorrheal, intestinal colic, rheumatism, backaches, colds, and menstrual problems.
How Can Valerian Essential Oil Be of Benefit Today?
Valerian has sedative and tranquilizing properties to the central nervous system. It is useful in insomnia and anxiety. It has a calming, relaxing, grounding and emotionally balancing effect. Valerian essential oil can be applied neat (undiluted) on the body, can be directly inhaled, diffused or taken as a dietary supplement. It mixes well with eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, wintergreen, juniper, tea tree, pine, patchouli, petitgrain, and cedarwood. As for safety, valerian is non-toxic, non-irritating, possibly sensitizing for some individuals. Some texts recommend caution in using with children younger than six.
