"The plant has a long tradition in perfumery.... The plant is also well known as a traditional remedy
against adverse effects related to the nervous system. Soaps, creams and teas prepared from its roots were
used for their nerve-strengthening properties. Furthermore, the dried plants were stuffed into linen presses and used as an insect repellent." \\
Main components of the hydrodistilled essential oil of underground plant parts (Valeriana celtica ssp. norica and Valeriana celtica ssp. pernnina) were patchoulol (5.4-19.8%), spathulenol (4.0-13.2%), aromadendrene (3.1-6.5%), and seychellene (1.4-4.0%). \\
