Valerian Root Cut is a dried cut root traditionally used in calming, sleep-support and relaxation herbal routines. It has a strong, distinct aroma that develops after drying and is commonly included in bedtime teas, sleep-promoting blends, sleep pillows and relaxing bath preparations. Valerian is often used for stress, tension, anxious feelings, headaches and heart-awareness linked to nervous tension, but heart symptoms should always be assessed professionally. The cut format is practical for steeping, straining and sachet use.

♡ Why we love it: Valerian root is a classic bedtime herb with a grounding, deeply relaxing character. The cut format is easy to use in tea blends, bath infusions and sleep pillows.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.

You should consider having a shop somewhere in

You should consider having a shop somewhere in Umhlanga because sometimes I feel like if you had a branch close by I would be buying from you frequently instead of ordering which requires me to wait otherwise I love your service and product 🤝🔥

Hi Manqoba,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your suggestion!

We're so glad to hear you've been happy with both our products and our service.

We'd absolutely love to have a presence closer one day! At the moment, though, we're primarily an online store operating from our warehouse in Cape Town, which helps us keep a wide range of products available in one place.

We really appreciate your support, and we'll certainly pass your suggestion on to the team. Hopefully we'll be able to make ordering even more convenient in the future!

Thanks again for being part of the Essentially Natural community!

Warm regards,
Aiden and the EN Team

I bought a few herbal teas (lemon balm, passion flower and valerian root)

My order arrived soon after ordering. I can't say I've noticed a difference using these teas yet. I bought them specifically to help reduce stress and help me sleep better. The valerian root is not a pleasant smell or taste. But I have tried it quite a few times. If you have any more information on how to use these for optimum results, I would appreciate it.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you so much for your review!

Valerian Root Tea works best when not used in conjunction with any alcohol. You can also increase the dosage to 2 teaspoons per cup; but just make sure not to exceed this amount. And if the tea is a little too unpleasant to stomach (I know from personal use it takes some... getting used to) you can always add the tea to your evening baths to help reduce stress and promote relaxation before going to bed. Should the Valerian root not be doing the trick for you (as our bodies can react to botanicals to differing degrees) then I can recommend trying the Dried Hops (Humulus lupulus) as an alternative. For lemon balm it's recommended to do 2-3 teaspoons per cup of tea, to let steep for 10-15 mins, and to drink up to 3 times a day. And for passion flower its recommended to use 1 teaspoon per cup, allowing to steep for 15 mins and to drink 2-3 cups a day.

Local supplier really delivers!

The quality of this Valerian Root is excellent. I have purchased the "same" product from others suppliers, even imported it from the USA. Essentially Nature gets 5* from me for price, product and service. And I have to include their really user-friendly website in my commendations.
