Valerian is a wild plant that can be used as food but is recognized more as a medicinal plant. For more info on identification: www.ediblewild... #valerian #anxietyrelief #healingplants
We have a variety of Valerian locally where I live here in Alaska. I personally have not utilized the local variety but have in the past used commercially available Valerian root for insomnia and it seemed to be effective. Thumbs up on the video.
Lonnie I truly wished it would have worked to link up with you even if it were a short visit! Next time!! My daughter and I are Alaska bound in a day and have a couple of videos planned I want to do while there! And thank you for the thumbs up!!!! Cool to know a variety of valerian is in Alaska!!!
Having been raised in southeast Texas, I have made many trips across and into south Louisiana, and I know it to be almost a nature paradise. I have many good memories of times spent there. It's a beautiful place. Living in northwest Arkansas now, which is very beautiful in its own way.
Hi, Karen. I don't know if Valerian grows around here, but I have recently obtained a packet of seeds. I haven't planted them yet, but planning to start them in a container. That odor that Valerian exudes is nearly identical to the odor of the rare and expensive Spikenard, which is an essential ingredient in some fragrances, and is one of the three precious perfumes mentioned in the New Testament. I take one Valerian capsule every night at bedtime and I sleep very soundly. I plan to make a tincture of any that I grow. God bless you!
How are you doing Wayne!? I truly hope you and your family are well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful information. Sometimes I have a valerian tea a couple hours before bed nut I add a bit of honey and organic apple cider vinegar. I will have to do this tonight. My husband and I bought a dream (small) home on a bit of land and we sold our house. We move Aug 6! If the stress of packing isn't enough I have to pack today as my daughter and I are going to Alaska tomorrow. 2 1/2 week trip!! Thank goodness the good Lord has my back!
It's great to finally see a great video about valerian
Thanks Karen, love the videos. I always learn so much. I like the close ups because they help me identify a plant in the wild.
Thanks for all your support Karen

Thanks for the informative video. I have not seen this one in my area before.
Sometimes we have many goodies and we don't notice them until they are in full maturation!

@@notmyworld44 Where may I ask did you get seeds from, I want to do this too. Please and Thank you 🌷
@@EdibleWildFood-1 Yes, He does. You are His very own!
A very valuable aid for sleep for me as a tincture. The roots smell dreadful though. 🤢 Great video! TY❤
Thank you for watching! Yes, that smell is quite unique!!!
Also note that valeria shouldn't be used continously. Daily usage should be limited to three weeks max.
Valarian stinks and tastes awful.
Yup!!
