Valerian has long been used to promote deep and restful sleep in those with occasional sleeplessness. Widely known as a sedative and carminative, Valerian is useful for insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, nervous stomach and headaches due to stress.

Our unique liquid herbs are crafted through an advanced spagyric process to create the most bioavailable herbs. First, herbs are soaked in organic alcohol. When time has allowed the plant to dissolve, the remaining matter is reduced without chemicals to a white ash rich in trace minerals and then rejoined with the original extract. It’s time-consuming but the end result is a herbal formula with all the valuable minerals present in the plant’s natural state.

Certified Organic Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) equiv. to 25 mg per drop. Per 40 drops (2 mL): Equiv. to 1000 mg.

Non-medicinal ingredients: Certified organic alcohol, distilled water.

40–60 drops (2–3 mL) taken 4 times per day. Best taken with five deep, slow breaths.

What is the source of alcohol used in Botanica tinctures?
Botanica uses certified organic USP pharmaceutical grade non-GMO corn-derived ethyl alcohol as an extraction method. The alcohol enhances absorption of the herbal constituents in the body and the tinctures have a dosage that can easily be varied if necessary.

Is the new packaging, specifically the boxes for the liquid herbs sustainably made?
Rest assured, our boxes are recyclable, made with FSC-certified post-consumer paper, and printed with vegetable-based ink.
