Valerian Root Whole (Valeriana officinalis)

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a hardy perennial flowering plant, with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers. Valerian has a long history of use in herbal medicine as a sedative, and it is an effective calmer when restless from any difficult meditative experience. It is a safe, non-addictive relaxant that may help reduces nervous tension and anxiety and promote restful sleep. Valerian root contains many constituents, including essential oils that appear to contribute to the herb's sedating qualities. Contemporary clinical studies have demonstrated that Valerian may help improve sleep quality without morning grogginess.* In ordinary doses, it is quieting and soothing in its nature upon the brain and nervous system, but large doses, we have seen reports of pain in the head, mental excitement, giddiness, restlessness, or agitation. This is a very common herbal product, but please handle with care. * These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
