doTERRA Valerian Essential Oil
Description
Valerian is a perennial flowering plant with a documented history of use extending back to ancient Greek and Roman times. One of the oldest and most studied benefits of Valerian essential oil is its ability to improve the quality of sleep. The plant name Valerian comes from the Latin valere meaning ‘to be well’. Valerian essential oil is steam distilled from valerian root, rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols, known for their soothing properties.
