Wildcrafting Valerian

I found a nice, large distribution of Valerian!

 

The root of the valerian plant contains many important plant chemicals and may be helpful in treating opiate addiction. Valerian root possesses a calming effect, and that when it is used in combination with the amino acid tyrosine, it may be helpful for people battling drug addiction and withdrawal symptoms. Valerian root has sedative action and may help reduce your anxiety, insomnia and nervousness. Valerian root can be found in southern Alberta near the B.C. border. I have helped friends get off Benzo’s and addictive sleeping pills. Why not try it in conjunction with opioid addiction? AND. . . you can wildcraft it free.

 

To ensure survival of this plant, wildcraft responsibly. Always leave part of the plant, such as the runners, so they can survive. This area was thick with the plant, but that does not always happen.

 

Some plants should never be wildcrafted. You should become familiar with the list of endangered (Alberta) plants and leave them alone.
