Frequently Asked Questions Why does valerian smell so strong? Valerian root has a distinctive, pungent earthy odor from the isovaleric acid and valerenic acid it naturally contains. A strong smell is a sign of a well-made extract. Mix into juice or strong-tasting water if the flavor bothers you. How is valerian traditionally taken? Steadily, over weeks, rather than as a single dose. How do you make it? Two ways. Some batches soak for six weeks. Others go through our extraction machine, which does that work in a day. Every bottle is made here on the farm in Opp.
