Valerian Root Size: 4 oz Bag (Latin Name: Valeriana officinalis)(Also known as: Nature’s Sedative, Dream Root, The Deep Rest Ally) Brief History & Origin Valerian Root is the Herb of Rest, Release, and Dream Medicine, used since ancient times to calm the mind, ease tension, and guide the body into sleep. The name "Valerian" comes from the Latin "valere," meaning "to be well" or "to be strong." For centuries, it has been used by European folk healers, rootworkers, and herbal mystics to support nervous system repair, dream journeying, and emotional surrender. Valerian’s energy is earthy, grounding, and potent, teaching us to let go of control, descend into rest, and heal from the root of exhaustion. In spiritual practice, it is also a protector of sleep, keeping away nightmares, psychic attacks, and restless energy.
