Valerian
(Valeriana officinalis) root has
been used for thousands of years for its
calming, grounding, and emotionally balancing
influences. During the last three decades, it
has been clinically investigated for its
relaxing properties. Researchers have pinpointed
the sesquiterpenes, valerenic acid, and valerone
as the active constituents that exert a calming
and restorative effect on the central nervous
system.* German health authorities have
pronounced valerian to be an effective aid for
the body's needs. Valerian has an approximate
ORAC of 61,935 (TE/L).

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils (YLTG)
Essential oils are
aromatic volatile liquids distilled from bushes, flowers, roots,
seeds, shrubs and trees.
The Chemistry of
essential oils is very complex; each one may consist of hundreds of
different and unique chemical compounds.
Unlike synthetic
chemicals,
essential oils are diverse in their effects, no two oils
are alike.
One of the factors that determine the purity of an
essential oil is its chemical constituents.
Essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs.
