Valerian Root is the most common sedative in Europe. There is no rival in the herb world for those who suffer from stress and nervous disorders. Health benefits include: 

  • A marvelous weapon against stress and nerves because of its calm, healing effect on the nervous system.  It acts as a soother and a depressor of the central nervous system.
  • Safe natural sedative, especially for insomnia sufferers. It is also nonaddictive.
  • Treats depression and heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat.
  • In addition to easing stress and reducing hypertension, studies show that it slows the heart rate while increasing the power of each beat, making the action of the heart more efficient and less strained. Since it regulates the heart beat, it is very effective in the treatment of heart palpitations.
  • Has been effective as a pain reliever. This makes it good for migraines and other mild headaches.
  • Has been used as a good remedy for ADHD and other nervous disorders and restlessness.
