Valerian root has multi-applications

[Guest guest]

The odorous root of valerian has been used in European traditional

medicine as a stimulant for centuries. In Germany, valerian root and

its teas and extracts are approved as over-the-counter medicines

for " states of excitation " and " difficulty in falling asleep owing to

nervousness. " * A scientific team representing the European community

has reviewed the scientific research on valerian and concluded that it

is a safe nighttime sleep aid. These scientists also found that there

are no major adverse reactions associated with the use of valerian

and, unlike barbiturates and other conventional drugs used for

insomnia, valerian does not have a synergy with alcohol.
