Valerian Root Tincture Print E-mail

Although this tincture is a great sedative, it is also use to clean

sores, clod sores, poison ivy rash, and a host of other skin ailments. It is wonderful for certain tension headaches and for sinus headaches. It is truly a great relaxant. Since it is a great muscle relaxant, it would be helpful to take orally for sore muscles or when suffering from back injury.

 

Dosage for adults would be half a dropperful every 4 hours

or so for muscle spasms due to back pain. The smell is awful, so I place the liquid in #00 capsules and give the dosage that way.

 

Skullcap is a good substitute if valerian is not available. Both have a sedative effect.

 

Just add 4 ounces of valerian (or skullcap) to 1 pint of vodka or other alcohol and allow to sit 2 weeks. Strain and bottle.

Wise Tips

You can also use essential oils in the shower. Sprinkle up to 6 drops of essential oil, or combination of oils, onto the shower floor just before you get in. The delightful fragrance will mingle with the steam and you will be immersed in an aromatic cloud. Geranium and rosemary are fresh and invigorating for a morning shower, while lavender and chamomile are soothing and relaxing for the evening.
