History and Usage:
Valerian, also commonly called garden heliotrope, is found throughout Europe, Asia and North America. For centuries it has been prized for its soothing qualities. Valerian gained in popularity in the 17th century and was commonly used to treat insomnia and to relieve stress-related anxiety and nervous restlessness.
Research has confirmed that these applications are more than just superstition. In 2003, scientists discovered that the sedative and sleep enhancing properties of valerian were related to two flavonoids: 6-methylapigenin and Hesperidin. Valerian acts as a natural tranquilizer and can soothe anxiety, nervous tension, insomnia and headaches. Studies have shown that valerian can reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and it helps improve the quality of sleep. An added benefit is that valerian does not have the side effects found in prescription sleep aids like drowsiness the next day.
Additional uses of valerian are still being researched. Early studies indicate valerian may help promote menstrual flow, reduce menstrual and stomach cramps, relieve irritable bowel syndrome and reduce some of the restlessness often seen in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Each capsule of our 4:1 valerian root extract is equal to 500 mg of Valerian root powder. Also available in liquid form.
