Herbal Medicine Tinctures
Getting herbal medicine into the body through the quickest and most effective manner often times require the herb to be tinctured. Tinctures are a process whereby the herb is blended into a powder then alcohol is added in order to extract the medicines from the herb. This can be a time-consuming process, depending on the type of extraction method used. The result is an herbal preparation that is only needed in small amounts and usually only over a few days.
Tinctures are sold in 2-ounce glass dropper bottles or in 1-ounce or 2-ounce Nalgene bottles for travel and are also the preferred container in our medical kits.

Valerian Root Herbal Tincture
DESCRIPTION:
This product comes in 2-ounce glass amber dropper bottle and in a 2-oz Nalgene bottle for outdoor first aid kits.
All Wellness Warrior products are organic.
Herbs are certified Kosher by Kosher Certification Services. Certified organic by the USDA and QAI, Inc., and Oregon Tilth.
CONTAINS:
Love and the organic herb Valeriana wallichii (valerian) root. Herbs are extracted in 40% alcohol by volume.
COMMON USES:
Valerian is an herb known as a nervine, as it acts on the nervous system. It is commonly used to combat ADHD, anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression, and insomnia, increase deep sleep and general rest, and to provide overall relaxation. Valerian has been shown to decrease the amount of time it takes a person to fall asleep to just 15-20 minutes. Valarian is used to assist women with dysmenorrhea (heavy bleeding during menses).
In menopausal women, current research indicates a dose of 225 mg three times daily taken for 8 weeks can reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes.
600 mg daily for 7 days has been shown to reduce mental stress, including reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and feelings of pressure under stress.
100 mg taken before speaking in front of a public audience has been shown to reduce stage fright and feelings of anxiety when performing in front of others.
Pairs with lemon balm, but don't take doses larger than 1080 of valerian and 720 mg of lemon balm, as this tends to have a reciprocal effect and actually can cause anxiety.
Limited studies show valerian may be effective in treating convulsions, including epilepsy and minor tremors, but further research is needed in this area.
PROPERTIES:
Nervine.
HOW TO USE:
Internal – Take 1-2 dropper full as needed.
WARNING:
Contains 40% alcohol by volume.
Valerian slows down the central nervous system. Stop using valerian two weeks prior to a scheduled surgery.
