Valeriana sitchensis (Pacific valerian) fresh root tincture

Typically ships next business day. We ship Tuesday through Friday

Folk herbalists, including Michael Moore, have noted that Pacific valerian may be less likely to cause the paradoxical stimulatory effects reported by some individuals with valerian use. This effect is also believed to be less common when using tinctures made from fresh valerian preparations. Drawing on these traditional insights, we craft our tincture using fresh Pacific valerian. It is important to emphasize that the side effect profile of Pacific valerian compared to garden valerian has not been extensively studied in scientific research.
