Description
Valerian is a medicinal plant known since Antiquity. Before the arrival of synthetic anxiolytics, valerian root was considered the most effective calming remedy available. In ancient Greece, it was already recommended for treating sleep disorders. The Romans used it to treat palpitations and arrhythmia. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a tranquilliser and sleeping aid. At the end of the XVI century, Europeans began treating epilepsy with it, and Native Americans used it to calm convulsions. During the First World War, it was recommended for treating nervous shock caused by bombardments.Modern medicine has recognised the effectiveness of valerian in treating mild depressive disorders, sleep disorders and anxiety.
It helps people fall asleep, lengthens sleep duration and improves sleep quality.
It is recommended for irritable and nervous people, as well as for relieving withdrawal from tobacco and other drugs.
