Valerian is a tallish plant with clusters of pink, less common white flowers. A perennial grows to 4-5 feet. Leaves strongly divided, pinnate with lance-shaped leaflets; lower ones toothed. Tiny pale pink to whitish, tubular flowers, grow in three-forked terminal heads in tight clusters, each flower has a small in rolled calyx at the base in a fruits form, calyces become feathery parachutes. Blooms from June till July.
Valerian Oil has an earthy smell that promotes feelings of relaxation. Valerian oil is obtained by steam distilling the roots and rhizomes of the perennial herb Valeriana officinalis. The resulting essential oil is an amber-brown that gets darker with age.
