Valerian Root (Organic)

Valerian is an ancient healing herb that has recently garnered a lot of mainstream recognition as a treatment for insomnia (a condition that plagues many of us in today’s hectic world full of artificial stimulation). It can be found in pretty much every pharmacy, marketed as a natural sleeping pill – although we recommend using the raw herb and making sure you get a quality organic product.

Valerian has been used medicinally since the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Hippocrates described its therapeutic uses. Traditionally it was used for nervousness, shakiness, headaches, and heart palpitations in the 16th century.

Valerian has attracted a lot of research for its ability to improve sleep, and the evidence suggests it can improve sleep quality without causing side effects.

There have also been a few studies investigating Valerian as an anxiety treatment. According to some studies, valerian acts as a mild sedative and tranquilliser. Other research suggests that valerian root may be beneficial for anxiety.

There is an urgent need to find non-addictive and side-effect-free treatments for anxiety and insomnia, so we welcome any research into Valerian. Many of our customers find it helps them to feel relaxed and to fall asleep faster.
