Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses)
This
high altitude oil naturally contains more effective components than, for
instance, Valerian grown in China. Research has found that Valerian root
grown at higher altitudes have higher concentrations of valeptorates, one of
the primary compounds responsible for this oil’s therapeutic effects. Highly
sedative in action. As a relaxing/sleep inducing blend it has no equal. Valerian
Root has been used to combat insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, tension,
agitation, headaches as the result of nervous tension, and panic attacks. |

The commercial
grade oils retain a robust fragrance suitable for soap making, candle making, as
well as cosmetic manufacturing. Unfortunately, because of the reduced active
therapeutic content, the commercial grade oils will not be suitable for aromatherapy or massage
therapy applications.
Silky Scents Essential Oils are all Pure and Therapeutic Grade, not
