Valerian Essential Oil

Valerian may be diffused if there is difficulty in sleeping however it is best to use a few drops only.

Start with one drop.

Because of its sedative & tranquilizing effects, do not use when driving or in activities where you need to be alert.

Valerian may help insomnia and is calming to the nervous system.
