Valerian Root

Our Valerian Root, which comes from the hardy perennial Valeriana officinalis plant, is grown to organic standards by our United States growers. It is also found growing in Europe, Asia and Japan. Valerian Root is also commonly known as Wild Valerian, German Valerian or English Valerian, and comes in several different forms, which include cut and sifted, powdered as well as wild crafted varieties. Wildcrafted Valerian root is also referred to by its Latin name Valeriana wallichii.

Both the Valeriana officinalis and Valeriana wallichii that we use in our dried herb preparations is certified kosher and organic. Organic certification is granted by Quality Assurance International, according to United States Department of Agriculture and National Organic Program guidelines.
