Valerian root extract is derived from the valerian plant (Valeriana officinalis), a perennial flower that is native to Europe and Asia. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its calming and sedative properties. Valerian root has a strong, earthy odour, and the extract is commonly used as a dietary supplement for sleep disorders, especially the inability to sleep (insomnia).
