Aromatherapy's Valerian Oil is
produced in Croatia and this
non-toxic and non-irritant oil
is botanically related to Spikenard
oil. Steam distillation of
the rhizomes of this perennial
herb produce our light
amber oil which has a warm,
balsamic aroma.
It blends well with several
oils including Patchouli,
Lavender
and Petitgrain.
As it can cause sensitisation
and deep relaxation it should
be used in moderation and at
no more than 1% in a
blend.
When combined with a
massage this oil promotes a
feeling of deep relaxation.
Many therapists recommend
that their clients do not drive
after this oil has been used
on them.
