Who This Is For

If your mind is still running at midnight, if your jaw clenches without you noticing. You want a nighttime ritual that actually helps you transition from doing to resting. Something that smells good, feels good on your skin, and lets your body wind down.

Ways to Use Valerian Rose Oil

Sleep Routine
Massage into the back of your neck, temples, jaw, and soles of your feet before bed. Calming, and may deepen rest. "This Valerian Rose Oil has become an integral part of my nighttime routine. I apply it to the soles of my feet every night... I have also started doing this with my kids." — Mindfully Dressed

Jaw & Neck Tension
Massage into neck and jaw muscles before bed. Release the tension you didn't know you were carrying.

Calming Support
Apply to temples, inner wrists, and behind the knees. "I love this oil! It helps me feel so calm AND smells incredible. Very soothing and relaxing." — Liz C

Children's Bedtime
Massage into upper back, neck, and shoulders for bonding and grounding. "We have added this oil to my children's nighttime routine and we love it!" — Chris

Sensual Massage
A relaxing oil that helps open the senses. Spend extra time over the kidneys (mid-low back) and alongside the spine.

Breast Massage & Open Heart
Use as a breast massage oil or massage in circles from the center of the chest. Energetically softens old tension held in tissues.

Soft, Hydrated Skin
Massage into face before sleep to soften tension and smooth wrinkles. Absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy.

Why These Herbs

This is called a healing oil because every plant in the formula is cross-culturally recognized as a spirit plant — herbs traditionally used in prayer, ceremony, and blessing for spiritual and emotional support.

Valerian Root
Calms the nervous system, relaxes tense muscles.

Roses
Opens the heart. Traditional use for grief, heartbreak, and emotional holding.

Lavender
Cleanses and raises frequency.

Frankincense
Traditionally used to call in support for healing.

Wild Mugwort
Energetic healing for reproductive organs and skin.

Cloves
Energetically clearing.

Apricot Kernel Oil
Nourishes and beautifies the skin, carries the medicine of the herbs.

Vitamin E
Skin healing and protection.

Formulated with Intention

Nathalie and Kacey formulated this oil the way they approach treatment in their practice — with attention to both the physical and the energetic body. Every ingredient was chosen for what it does to the muscles and skin, and for how it moves the spirit. Handcrafted in California by herbalists in traditional healing arts ways.

What Customers Are Saying

Martinez ★★★★★
"I've been wanting to try Valerian root for awhile but because of nursing I never could ingest it. I love that I can now use Valerian topically! The smell alone is very soothing. I've also began to apply it to my hands/joints which get sore from crocheting. This oil has quickly become a household favorite."

Sgs ★★★★★
"The thickness is perfect, not too sticky, not too liquid, the smell is amazing, and the effect is on point. I rub a little bit on my neck before bed and I sleep so well."

Milly ★★★★★
"Added this oil to my night routine and I am super pleased. I rub it on the bottom of my feet to help me sleep and feel more calm. It also works with my little ones."

Good to Know

Intended for short-term or occasional use during stressful times. Some people have a stimulating rather than relaxing response to Valerian root — if that's you, try using a smaller amount or applying to the feet only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it smell like?

Warm, floral, and grounding. The rose and lavender come through first, followed by deeper notes of frankincense and valerian. Multiple customers describe the scent as “amazing” and “soothing.” It’s a complex, layered fragrance — nothing like a single-note essential oil.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes. The apricot kernel oil base absorbs cleanly without greasiness, making it suitable for facial massage. Several customers use it as part of a nightly gua sha or facial massage routine. The botanical extracts are gentle on facial skin. As with any new product, test a small area first if you have sensitive skin.

Is it safe for children?

Many parents use it as part of a calming bedtime routine — a small amount on the back of the neck, temples, or feet. The formula is 100% natural with no synthetic fragrances. For very young children, use a minimal amount and observe their response. As always, consult your pediatrician if you have concerns.

Will valerian make me drowsy during the day?

Used topically, valerian works through aromatherapy and skin absorption — it’s gentler than oral valerian supplements. Most people find it calming without causing drowsiness when used in small amounts during the day. For deeper relaxation, apply more generously as part of your evening wind-down routine. Some people have a stimulating rather than relaxing response to valerian — if that’s you, try applying to the soles of your feet only.

How is this different from rose essential oil?

Rose essential oil is a single concentrated extract. Valerian Rose is a practitioner-formulated blend of valerian root, rose, lavender, frankincense, wild mugwort and cloves in an apricot kernel oil base, with vitamin E, each chosen for how they work together. The apricot kernel oil base nourishes the skin (pure essential oils can irritate), and the formula is ready to apply directly without dilution.

How long does a bottle last?

With regular use, a single bottle typically lasts 2–3 months. A little goes a long way — a few drops per application is enough for temples, jaw, neck, or wrists. For full-body massage, you’ll use more per session, but most customers use it for targeted application.

I’m using this product for a while now. This oil is very relaxing and smoothing. I massage some to my arms and shoulders. It’s not super oily and leaves the skin very smooth! If you have someone to massage it to your back that’s perfect.

This Valerian Rose Oil has become an integral part of my nighttime routine. I apply these to the soles of my feet every night before bed to help induce deep, restful sleep. I have also started doing this with my kids as well, as it’s a camping nighttime ritual we can all benefit from. I highly recommend for anyone needing help with sleep, gentle anxiety support or help in liver detoxification.

Mr. Silent

This oil is wonderful. I love the earthy rose smell. I use it straight out of the bottle, or mix it with a a bit of neutral-smelling oil. The oil is easily absorbed, and doesn't leave a greasy after feel. The oil comes with a handy leaflet that shows acupressure points to massage for anxiety, sleep, jaw tension, great complexion and even to rub on kids before bedtime. I recommend this oil, and will be trying the other oil by this company.

It’s very relaxing, smells good and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling.
