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.

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 was so surprised at valerian. It was the first time for me to work with it, the smell is so strong. I just love it.
this tea is amazing!! as i have tried very thing from sleeping pills to anxiety medication and i wanted a healthier substitute to reduce my intake of pills. This tea is definitely worth your money because i feel relaxed, better sleep and my body feels healthy. I even. got a free sample :)
After doing alot if research on catnip for my cat I finally found it. My cat is imune to regular catnip that works for other cats ( she is a calico) For the first time ever she can enjoy the buzz and relax. It's a treat ones in awhile for her.
**Review of Essentially Natural**
I absolutely love Valerian tea from Essentially Natural. It gives me the most amazing sleep without any medication hangover symptoms. Additionally, I appreciate that my delivery was done on the same day as my order. The service is always 10/10 with Essentially Natural, and whenever communication is needed, I am responded to immediately. Highly recommended!
The product works well.It is very good for insomnia.No side effects.No headache afterwards.
Great quality
Sleeping like a baby thank you!
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.
Enjoying this product. Also received excellent customer service from the team.
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.
What I expected :)
Recommended for anxiety & stress. I love the quality of the product as well.
I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. Such a professional company, constantly updating on order. The product is of high quality
Excellent product with wonderful benefits.. It assists in having good sleep, it relaxes the body and the mind. A great medicinal alternative with many other medicinal properties. Highly recommended.
Very effective for anxiety
