RE: Stress/Herbs

Valerian is another common name for Jupiter's Beard or "Centrathus ruber."
I take it you're talking about the dried product and not the blossoms?  The
flowers have a very sweet scent on the plants I have.  I haven't noticed a
bad odor from the stems or leaf parts either, but then I've never dried any
of it either.  

I've never tried it in tea.  Does anyone have a recipe?

Blessings, 
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Valerian.  It smells like somebody's old nasty shoe...but if you get it in 
capsule form...it does help.  Just don't burp afterwards!  LOL.  I don't 
know how people used to drink Valerian tea....nasty smelling stuff.  Kava 
Kava helps too (for stress).
