Description Organic Valerian Root Tincture 30ml Valeriana officinalis L. This organic valerian root tincture is a traditionally prepared 1:5 liquid extract made using the percolation method for efficient and thorough extraction of the root’s soluble constituents. Crafted from carefully sourced organic valerian root, ethanol (60% ABV) and purified water, it is prepared as a balanced herbal extract. Valerian root has a long history of traditional use in Western herbalism and European folk practice. It has been valued for centuries and has commonly appeared in classic herbal preparations. Traditionally associated with rest and relaxation rituals, valerian remains a well established apothecary root. Each batch is handcrafted in small quantities and clearly labelled for transparency and traceability, reflecting traditional herbal practice and careful attention to process.
