Focus on Valerian (Valeriana Officinalis)

Valerian has a woody, balsamic, earthy, green, warm and musky fragrance. Valerian has been said to have a relaxing, slightly euphoric effect on the mind. Many people do not like the scent of Valerian, fortunately that fact does not diminish the qualities of this oil. The oil is steam distilled from the root of the plant.

This oil blends very well with cedarwood, lavender, patchouly, pine, rosemary, marjoram, petitgrain and citrus oils.
