Supporting information
Effects on body and sleep:
Valerian has been shown to calm the brain and nervous system, making it useful for some as a supplement for sleep. Valerian is also used for conditions linked to nervousness and typical everyday psychological stress, such as occasional minor breathlessness, headaches, or upset stomachs. Studies have shown that taking a dietary supplement containing valerian root can help users fall asleep faster and wake up less often during the night, leading to improved feelings of rest upon waking and an increased energy level during the day following supplement use.
Support:
Valerian Root has been used to treat a variety of health conditions but it is probably best known as a remedy for insomnia. It contains a natural constituent known as Valerenic Acid which has been shown to affect GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the brain. GABA helps control fear or anxiety. Valerian may help to act as a mild sedative and anxiolytic. Valerian also contains antioxidant properties which also help promote restful sleep.
