Frontier Co-op Valerian Root, Cut & Sifted, Certified Organic, Kosher, Non-irradiated | 1 lb. Bulk Bag | Sustainably Grown

The cat loves it

Um, I thought I was buying it for me for a nice relaxing tea time. #1 this is a HUGE bag of tea. #2 the cat loves it. I spilled some on the floor and my cat ran over like there was a flock of birds in the kitchen. He started scratching at it and rolling around in it and then basically lost his mind and ran around the house. I don't know if this is good or bad for him, but every time I open the bag, he runs in meowing. I'm afraid he might need an intervention

Organic Valerian Versus Tylenol

I purchased and received my herbs yesterday. Before going to bed, my best friend and I tried this Valerian. The smell is very strong but you have to understand that every natural medicine is not going to smell the same. So we added some Organic Honey and Ginseng. We were extremely surprised and blown away by the taste. We only use a tiny spoon full because I did my research on this herb and believe me when I say, just a little bit goes a long way. Immediately our minds and our bodies became completely relaxed. If you feel any frustration during the day, I highly recommend that you research this Valerian first on Google and YouTube so that you can make sure this is exactly what you need to get a good night's sleep. But please be careful because you can easily get addicted to this herb. It really works. I will be ordering again

Excellent amount of product

Back and shoulder issues. Have been using Valerian Root Tea for some time. For me works as well as a prescription muscle relaxant without the side effects of grogginess the next day, especially after a hard day of physical work. This product came packaged in a foil pouch. Excellent amount of product. I reseal and store it in the freezer

Good valerian, from someone who doesn't hate the taste, plus two tips for preparing it.

I'm a life-long insomniac and I've tried a lot of things to help. Valerian works for me...sometimes. It's not the preparation or company, I think it's just my own chemistry. However it will mellow me down a bit, even if not as much as I'd hope, and this is nice valerian. I wish it were slightly more finely-ground, but I can fix that myself. I will admit that I really don't mind the smell or taste of valerian, despite all the horror stories you read from other people. I don't love it, but, eh, it's earthy. For me it's far easier than kava, which I've tried on several occasions and sometimes literally makes me sick to my stomach. A couple tips for dealing with the taste of the tea: --Brew it in mason jars. Put valerian in jar, add hot water, and CAP. Wait 'till cool. It really doesn't smell nearly as bad then, and it doesn't need to be hot to work. --I frequently make the tea very strong, and add it to fruit juice at about a 1:1 proportion. I find it blends particularly well with cranberry juice. I'd rather have it that way than add sugar or honey--the tanginess of the cranberry seems to be key

This tea smells terrible. Vaguely like puke actually. But it suprisingly tastes fine. If you sit still and pay attention, you can feel this tea relax your whole body. And then...you SLEEP! My goodness, this helps me sleep incredibly deep

Potent, Pain-Relieving Herbâ™¡

Fantastic! This organic valerian root is wonderful for relieving muscle pain, tension, anxiety and stress. It's an antispasmodic, mild analgesic, mild bitter and tranquilizer. It helps with tension headache, eye strain, tensed muscles, rheumatic aches, insomnia and IBS. It's safe and nonaddictive. The quality of this herb is very good. It stinks, which speaks to its potency. But just know that it's normal for it to smell like a wet sock. I recently used this valerian root in my Deep Rest & Relaxation herbal tea blend, and I'm always surprised by how well it helps me with my chronic pain and chronic headache. It's really wonderful for calming your nervous system. The only thing I don't like is that this bag is not resealable, so I have to rubberband it and store it in another mylar bag to keep it fresh. But otherwise I'm really pleased with this product

The ticket to a restful, solid, non-stressful sleep!

Great quality, the aroma is so strong and fresh. My cats went crazy the second I opened the package. They like this stuff more then cat nip although I did not buy it for them, I guess now it's for the whole family. I got this as a sleep aid and it works better then anything I have ever tried! It taste fabulous! My 9 year old son even loved it, (watered his down. As a tea you will have the most restful sleep ever! I did the 1tsp with 8oz of boiling water but as I do with most herbal or medicinal teas, I steeped it for 15 minutes. My 72 year old mother said it worked better then any sleeping pill and she slept a solid, restful 9 hours

Best I Valerian Root I have purchased thus far! I do not leave reviews often but they deserve one!

I am an avid tea drinker, I was taking doxylamine over the counter sleep aids for years until I decided to start herbal teas. I have now developed the perfect homemade blend of which one of the ingredients is valerian root. I have been drinking this tea for ~ 3 years now and I have no more need for sleep aids (well except for the tea); I have probably purchased ~ 5-6lb. total of valerian over the last 3 years from different shops and brands on etsy and amazon.... This past year i transitioned to growing most of my herbs as it gets expensive and I was shocked at how amazing homegrown valerian root smells when it is freshly dried. The smell was much nicer and the color was lighter. Kinda made me wonder how old and how clean was the valerian root that I have purchased online!! The bad thing is I didn't grow enough to get me through til next season. I received the Valerian Root today and I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW GOOD IT SMELLED AND THE COLOR LOOKED LIKE MY HOMEGROWN VALERIAN! Makes me think its the freshest I have purchased online so far and after growing it my self and realizing how timely t is to clean the roots well before drying, looking at the roots they sent, I can tell they did a hell of a better job than any of the other shops.... nothing beats homegrown and washed but this right here is probably the closest I am going to get! you have gained a loyal customer

I love my purchase!

I am so happy with this herb! I have used it to make tinctures and they have turned out amazing. Valerian root is a wonderful sleep aid, anxiety ease, helps reduce pain and menstral cramping, is a antispasmodic, as well as helps to lower blood pressure. Yes, it can be very beneficial. You can make a decoction and drink or take in a tincture form. I must warn you ahead of time that this root stinks! It smells yeasty, but once you make it into the final product it's not anywhere near as bad. It also has a bitter taste, so I would recommend using some mint or honey in your tea to lighten the bitterness. For tinctures you can add the correct dose in a juice or a sweetened tea. I love this company and their products. I would recommend them for any dried herb purchase and especially their Valerian root. I only wish they all came in resealable bags. I wind up using all of my mason jars to store it, but that is all I can say remotely negative. * All of the information in this review is just that, information. It is not to be used in replace of proper medical advice or treatment. Valerian root is determined a safe herb by the FDA, but I still recommend seeking the advice of a licensed medical practitioner.* If you found my review helpful please let me know by clicking yes below
