Interesting that the flowers smell pleasant but the roots smell dreadful. Great video as always! Your channel is my absolute favorite gardening channel 🌱
It's lovely to hear someone else appreciating the scent of Valerian flowers! Most people I know don't like it.... it seems to be like the taste of Cilantro, a love/hate thing. I certainly love it :)
My mother grew up on a farm in Prussia, near Danzig... Whenever they needed medicine, there was no drug store to go to... They walked into the forest to pick the medicinal plants...They lost everything in January of 1945 when the Bolsheviks invaded and killed everyone they got their hands on...
Valerenic acid is a sesquiterpenoid constituent of the essential oil of the valerian plant. Valerenic acid acts as a subtype-selective GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator via a binding site in the transmembrane domain at the β+α− interface. At the 5-HT5A receptor valerenic acid acts as a partial agonist.
Ok. My Valeriantale. Adopted few out the Nursery i work and trow them in the Garden. Up to 6.7 Feet tall Flowerstems had to be secured. Flying Seeds spread, germinating on every Spot of naked Earth, in the Neighborhood! Potted one stayed tame at about 3 Feet. The Neighbors didn't mind after learning about the strange new Weeds they found.😂 Young leaves are edible. Tasting a bit like Fieldsalat. Insects of all kind love them. I spreyed them with Water and they became the Ladybug Homebase. Strong, Hungry, very fertile Plants. Enjoy with care.❤
I've tried to start valerian from seed the last 2 years and no luck. I've ordered a couple plants in hopes that I can get a good amount going to make tincture.
@@kevinmccoy3653 I ordered some from growers exchange a while back and their plants are awesome...but I think im in too hot of an area for it atleast out in the full sun. It just melts down but I'd like to try again in some partial shade. Comfrey is a good one for pollinators.
I wonder if these plants I see everywhere like on sides of roads etc in pa are Valerian or a lookalike? I would like to know n harvest them if they are
Valerian does look similar to Hemlock, which is extremely poisonous and invasive. It is everywhere in the midwest, and has started to take over other places in the US, too.
I don't take Valerian often but when I do I get headaches if I take some Tylenol with it it goes away but for the most part I don't take it because it gives me headaches
Absolutely! I use valerian tea quite often for sleep as well as anxiety treatment. Some say that tea works even better than extract forms because the whole plant contains synergistic compounds. Similar to cannabis in that regard
this old wizard has so much to share, wish I could shadow him for a few years
Life goals
well now you can, he is looking for people to learn from him
@@Moloch6666where do i sign up!
LOL
I wanna spend a month in a garden learning from this guy. At least.
There is Valerian growing wild everywhere around us in north-central NC. Thanks for sharing this! Cheers.
You are such a amazing wealth of knowledge, Joe - I'm grateful that you share it with the world. Thank you for doing what you do :)

The Bolsheviks are at the Gates World Wide once again, we need to wake the people up.
Just found this channel today - new favourite on UA-cam

Thakyou so very much. Very informative. It helps me grow my Valerian.
love this guy!
I love your videos, this is absolutely my favorite channel on youtube
Fresh roots smell amazing. It is the dried root that gets a little funky.
Happy 🇨🇦 Day!
I ❤ VALERIAN 😊.
The sedative's valproic acid, used in pharma for epilepsy and OCD.
This is lovely, it speaks to my soul ❤
What happened to the camera though as he pointed around the gardens?
Thanks for sharing all those valuable infos buddy! Does anyone knows if the rest is wasted or if is possible to replant it? Peace
what is the best time to plant valerian? I am in northwestern oregon.
Nice video
I love esta hierva la Valeriana! Es muy buena para calmar los nervios.
¿Lo tomas durante el día?
Se toma en la mañana y en la noche. Pero no diario ya que es muy fuerte y no se debe abusar.
@@BilmaTena
@@BilmaTena Muchas gracias por responder, también entiendo el consumo excesivo... pero ¿qué pasa con la dosis o las diferentes formas de tomarlo?
I am safe. I want this plant. Please sister. Do you have some time for us to chat together? I want a plant. Please help me.
@1:43 made me laugh out loud 🤣 but he really does have a lot of great information
Hmm that is not the most poweful sedative in your garden if i didnt mistake those pods in the background lol
@@toKy0t0 haha
I got my 2nd year growing. Going to give them some beneficial bacteria for them roots today!
Im in Texas.. i dont think it will die off. When should i harvest mine for potency? the little roots are really tender.
Will I develop a tolerance if I take it every day?
Hi , the leaves of my plant valerian got all yellow, is it dead? Can i still use its root? I bought this year in August 2021, thanks
I think Joe will still be with us in 100 years 😊
Joe, can I use pink or red variety?
0:29 beautiful opium poppies too 🙂
I love the smell of Valerian root, but that is rare even among herbalists
Thank you 💕💕💕💕🌺🌸
Thank you for sharing. I'm curious just like Alice in Wondland. I want to make this tisane or tea.
What can you use the leaves for?
I've tried to start valerian from seed the last 2 years and no luck. I've ordered a couple plants in hopes that I can get a good amount going to make tincture.
I've tried starting from seed-- also no luck. Found a good internet site and I'm buying plants. I'm only looking for a pollinator attractor.
@@no-diggarden that's so kind! I wish I'd have seen this

like God
I live the smell of valerian root
Hi there thank you 💜 what are all the uses?
Unfortunately it doesn't help much during opiate withdrawal. But if your not it works very well.
What do you do with it?
I wonder if these plants I see everywhere like on sides of roads etc in pa are Valerian or a lookalike? I would like to know n harvest them if they are
I had the same question but it could also be 'cow parsley' the flowers look alot alike
Valerian does look similar to Hemlock, which is extremely poisonous and invasive. It is everywhere in the midwest, and has started to take over other places in the US, too.
So the leave have no medical use?
I don't take Valerian often but when I do I get headaches if I take some Tylenol with it it goes away but for the most part I don't take it because it gives me headaches
Maybe you're taking too much.
@@alilrazzledazzle992 Usually take for capsules
@@porthoel you are probably allergic to valerian
@@mfrederikson funny thing is I don't like taking lortab either cuz it gives me headaches I don't take it of course you know just saying
Dried plant is known to give side effects to some people, try getting it fresh and see if there's a difference.
Can a tea made out of the leaves be useful for a sleep aid?
Dunno about tea but I eat pills which are made out of it and I am super calm and can sleep well :D
Yes.
Absolutely! I use valerian tea quite often for sleep as well as anxiety treatment. Some say that tea works even better than extract forms because the whole plant contains synergistic compounds. Similar to cannabis in that regard
@@zombiegone2073 TEA FROM LEAVES OR ROOTS? I left my valerian plants, spreading, when I sold my house : (
@@spinnersea9029 in terms of sedating compounds, roots
Looks very similar to Hogsweed
What do you think about marijuana plant?
Do the leaves have an effect?
No, they are edible though but not very nice
@@Eueueyw i made an ever clear tincture with roots i grew...better than benzos.

Happy little (plant) accidents!
Thank you
What do the STEMS look like.

I'd like to find someone as knowledgeable as him but the topic of mycology.
Paul Stamets :)
You didn’t explain where to get seeds to start growing it OR how to make it into a way to take it! Anyone know these answers? Thanks 🙏
Can’t you just google it?
I dunno about your country, but here you can just buy the seeds in a garden centre or order them online from a plant seller.
Something shady about this guy, don't trust him.
