Organic Bio Herbs-Organic Dried Valerian Root (Valeriana Officinalis) 6 Oz.

My first time ordering Valerian root. I am not familiar with it at all, however, there were many stems and a few small rocks. It does have the strong stinky sock smell as described in other reviews. This root does not look the same as that of Mountain Rose and other vendors. I sure hope that after 5 weeks this will make a good Valerian Tincture.
