Tagara, or Indian valerian, is a small perennial herb of the Himalayas with a thick, strongly scented rhizome and heart-shaped basal leaves. It grows on moist slopes and forest edges in the temperate hills of northern India and Nepal.
The aromatic rhizome has long been valued in Ayurvedic and Unani tradition, and classical texts such as the Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas mention it. It is traditionally used in calming preparations and in fragrant oils and pastes for skin care.
