Imagine you could shrink the best parts of herbs down into a super-concentrated liquid that’s ready to go whenever you are—that’s a tincture.

Unlike traditional tinctures that use alcohol, our formula uses a glycerin-based extraction method to provide the same potent benefits without the alcohol.

Tinctures are amazing for several reasons:

• Super Strength: They’re concentrated, so even a small bottle lasts a long time.
• Fast Acting: Liquid form means your body absorbs them quickly.
• Mega Convenient: A few drops under the tongue or in a glass of water and you’re good to go.

Valerian Root Tincture works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that helps calm your nervous system. The active compounds in Valerian, particularly valerenic acid, interact with GABA receptors, promoting relaxation and sleep. Our tincture is made from high-quality, organic Valerian root to ensure you get the full benefits of this powerful herb.

Shake the bottle well, then use the dropper to measure your dose. You can add it to water, tea, or take it directly under your tongue. For sleep support, take it about 30 minutes before bedtime. For daytime anxiety relief, you can take smaller doses as needed. Start with a small amount and adjust based on your needs and the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Valerian Root Tincture is a natural alternative to sleeping pills. It helps calm your mind and relax your body, making it easier to fall asleep without the potential side effects or dependency issues associated with many sleep medications. Many users find they can fall asleep more easily and experience better quality sleep with regular use.

Valerian Root Tincture can be beneficial for daytime anxiety. Its calming properties can help reduce feelings of stress and tension without causing drowsiness when taken in smaller doses. Many people use it to promote a sense of calm and balance throughout the day.

Valerian root naturally has a strong, earthy odor due to its volatile compounds, particularly valeric acid. This distinctive smell is actually a sign of potency and freshness. If the smell or taste is too intense, try mixing the tincture with juice or tea.

Valerian Root Tincture is not habit-forming when used as directed. Unlike many sleep medications, you won’t develop a physical dependency. However, as with any supplement, it’s best to use it as part of a broader sleep hygiene routine rather than relying on it exclusively.

While Valerian Root Tincture is natural, it can interact with certain medications, particularly those that also have a sedative effect. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before combining Valerian with any medications, especially antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, or sleep aids.

Most people start to feel the calming effects within 30-60 minutes of taking the tincture. However, for sleep benefits, it may take a few weeks of consistent use to experience the full effects. Everyone’s body is different, so be patient and consistent with your use.

Valerian Root Tincture is generally well-tolerated. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as headache, dizziness, or stomach upset. These usually subside as your body adjusts. If you experience any persistent or severe side effects, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

Sediment in your tincture means you’re getting all the herbal goodness, including those not completely dissolved in the liquid. Just give your bottle a shake before use to mix it back in.

While Valerian can be used with many other natural supplements, it’s important to be cautious when combining it with other sleep aids. Always consult with a healthcare professional before combining supplements, especially those that may have sedative effects.

If you don’t notice improvements after a few weeks of consistent use, it may be helpful to reassess your dosage or overall sleep routine. Sometimes, a higher dose might be necessary. However, if you still don’t see benefits, consider consulting with a healthcare provider to explore other options or potential underlying issues.

Some people find Valerian more effective for staying asleep, while melatonin might be better for resetting sleep patterns. Unlike melatonin, Valerian can also help with daytime anxiety.
