Harvesting Valarian Root

I recently created my first video on how I harvested Valarian root this fall for medicinal purposes. I started from seed indoors and planted in the spring of 2022. I first discovered it while researching the herbs that were in the common teas that I was purchasing at the grocery store for help with insomnia. I wanted to learn more about the healing properties and benefits of the plants that were listed in the ingredients. I really liked that they were perennials and that they produced attractive flowers as well. That’s when I decided to try growing a few plants of my own and make my own teas. I thought, How hard could it be? Im so glad that I tried because they are such beautiful additions and are very little maintenance and they come with a huge benefit. I hope that this inspires you to try growing your own beneficial teas that are tailored to your needs😊
