Our primary valerian stand was grown from seed over three years ago and has become a wizened and generous plant. If you have trouble sleeping, it's likely you have heard of valerian. We use the fresh root in our elixir which we have found more effective and better tasting than the dried root.
We hand dig harvest our valerian in the fall and infuse it separately in alcohol and vegetable glycerin. We then combine the two infusions with our fresh catnip infused glycerin for additional nervous system support. The resulting elixir is floral, sweet tasting, and quite powerful. Only 1-2 dropperfuls (30-60 drops) are usually needed for most folks. This is traditional support for sleeplessness and restlessness, especially if accompanied by pain.
RECOMMENDED DOSING:
Start with 1/2 to 1 dropperful (15-30 drops) orally approximately 10-15 minutes before bed. Can be taken directly in the mouth or mixed into a small amount of water or juice. Take an additional dropperful if needed. Everyone is different in their response but higher doses can sometimes cause grogginess in the morning. Discontinue use if any agitation occurs.
