  • Traditionally used to support relaxation, ease restlessness, and promote restful sleep

  • Gentle, alcohol-free formula safe for kids, adults, and even during pregnancy

  • Add to water for instant valerian tea — no steeping, no stress

Some herbs feel like a soft exhale — and Valerian Root is one of them. This organic, alcohol-free tincture is here to support calm, rest, and a sense of emotional balance when the day (or your brain) just won’t slow down.

Valerian has long been used to help ease restlessness, emotional tension, and support natural sleep rhythms — without leaving you groggy or fogged up in the morning. And while it’s often taken before bed, many parents swear by it during the day for helping kids (and grown-ups) with busy, bouncing brains feel more balanced and grounded.

This version is safe for the whole family, including pregnant and nursing mamas — and no steeping required. Just a few droppersful under the tongue or in a cup of warm water makes for an easy wind-down ritual. Think of it as your herbal pause button.

A quick heads-up: In rare cases, valerian can have the opposite effect and make you feel more awake. If over-the-counter sleep aids tend to energize you instead of calm you, this herb might do the same. If that’s you, Skullcap could be a better match.

Adults: Use 1-2 droppersful (squeezes) of the tincture as desired. It’s handy to keep by the bedside.

Children: Use the age-appropriate dose as suggested in the Children’s Dosage Guide.

Made with certified organic valerian root and extracted in a base of organic vegetable glycerine and distilled water. Like all Herb Lore tinctures, it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, and never tested on animals — ever.

Other ways to determine dosage:
Young’s Rule – Add 12 to the child’s age. Divide the child’s age by this total. Example: dosage for a 4 year old: 4 divided by 16 (4+12) = .25, or 1/4 of the adult dosage.

Cowling’s Rule – Divide the number of the child’s next birthday by 24. Example: dosage for a child who is 3, turning 4 would be: 4 divided by 24 = .16, or 1/6 of the adult dosage.
