Today, medicinal and aromatic plants are used in the treatment of many diseases in alternative medicine. The use of active substances obtained from medicinal and aromatic plants is increasing day by day. One of these plants is Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.). Valerian is especially used in many disorders such as migraine, sleep problems, heart palpitations, stress and restlessness. Valerian, which belongs to the Valerianaceae family, has around 200 species in the world. There are 12 species identified in Turkey. The subspecies of Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.), which can grow especially around Erzurum-Ardahan in eastern Turkey, can be found at an altitude of approximately 1980-1999m. It grows on the slopes where the slope is 55-65% and there is no danger of erosion, on the slopes where the north-west, north-east and north sun is abundant. The organic matter content of the soils where it grows is between 2-7%. It spreads on chestnut colored forest soils. These soils have “Sandy Loam” and “Silty Loam” and “Loamy Sand” soil texture. It can grow even in soils poor in organic matter. The pH of these soils is between 6,7-7,2. Superficial stoniness rate is over 50%. The areas where cat grass grows are geologically mesozoic (ophiolite series), mostly Cretaceous. In terms of formation, conglomerates are at the bottom, sandstones above them and limestones above them. Mixed with serpentines
