Valerian Essential Oil – Monastic Recipes

Valerian essential oil is a completely natural product known for its soothing properties and unique fragrance. It is prepared following a traditional monastic recipe, ensuring the preservation of all its valuable ingredients. The main active compound in valerian essential oil is valerenic acid, which is extracted from the root of the plant. Valerian is considered a balancing herb, as it adapts to the needs of each individual.

Properties of Valerian Essential Oil:
Valerian has a distinctive smell, which is more noticeable when the root is dried. The extracts of valerian, often used in supplements, have a strong aroma compared to the fresh plant, which is odorless. The essential oil of valerian is produced from the root and is known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects, helping to relax the nervous system. This leads to benefits in conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness.

It also helps with depression, fever, headaches, and hyperactivity. Additionally, valerian essential oil can be useful in managing psychosomatic symptoms related to the overactivity of the nervous system, such as menstrual cramps and teeth grinding.

Usage Instructions:
Valerian essential oil can be used in aromatherapy or diluted with a carrier oil for massages to help reduce stress and promote relaxation. The beneficial effects may become noticeable after two or more weeks of regular use.

Precautions:
Essential oils should be used with caution and according to recommended dosages.
Avoid excessive use as it may lead to side effects such as headaches, arrhythmia, nausea, blurred vision, diarrhea, or daytime drowsiness.
Valerian may interact with other medications, especially analgesics, anticoagulants, antidepressants, and sedatives. Consult a healthcare provider before use.
Avoid using essential oils internally unless advised by a doctor (except for oils like oregano, thyme, basil, and mint).
Do not use during pregnancy, particularly in the first five months.
Not suitable for individuals with hypertension or serious nervous disorders.
Not recommended for infants (under one year).
Important Notes:
Certain essential oils, like Bergamot, Neroli, and Lemon, may cause photosensitivity when exposed to sunlight. Avoid sun exposure for 4 hours after aromatherapy treatments.
Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Do not apply undiluted oils directly to the skin.
Sensitive groups, such as children and individuals over 60, should use essential oils in reduced concentrations.
