What Is Valerian Herb? For centuries,
the tall perennial herb with pinkish flowers known as Valerian
Herb (Valerian Herb officinalis) has been enlisted to help
restless insomniacs get a sound nights sleep. Today this mild,
nonaddictive sedative is quite popular both as a sleep aid and
as an anxiety fighter, particularly in Germany, France,
Belgium, and the United Kingdom. And in recent years its
popularity has grown enormously in the United States as
well.
This graceful plant grows wild in North America, Europe, and
Asia. Its underground stems and roots are harvested and dried
to make healing preparations. Although there has long
been controversy over what makes Valerian Herb so effective as
a relaxant, it is increasingly accepted that this herb does, in
fact, work as the ancients once claimed it did. In addition to
promoting sound sleep, Valerian Herb has a reputation for
easing anxiety and relaxing tense muscles. It may also have a
role to play in relieving digestive conditions, such as
diverticulosis and irritable bowel syndrome.
Valerian Herb is thought to bind to receptors for a
nerve chemical called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). By
blocking some nerve impulses from reaching the brain, the herb
seems to shorten the amount of time it takes to fall asleep as
well as improve the quality of sleep that results. And, unlike
some of the more commonly prescribed sleep medications,
Valerian Herb is not addictive. Nor does it cause morning
grogginess (when taken at recommended doses), as some
prescription drugs do.
Valerian Herb may also be useful for
people without insomnia . In a 1983 trial that involved 128
healthy people, those assigned to take a Valerian Herb root
preparation were far more likely to fall asleep faster than
those given a placebo. The Valerian Herb group also tended to
stay asleep longer. Overall sleep quality improved
significantly, particularly in those who rated themselves as
poor sleepers to start with.
Reduce nervous tension, anxiety, and restlessness by
Valerian Herb. German health authorities endorse the use of
Valerian Herb for restlessness and sleeping disorders that are
caused specifically by nervous conditions. In fact, anyone who
suffers from stress, panic attacks, or other nervous conditions
may want to give Valerian Herb a try. Valerian Herb is thought
to lessen anxiety because in blocking brain receptors for the
neurotransmitter GABA, it also inhibits nerve impulses and
stress-related messages from reaching the brain. More research
is needed, however.
Lessen stomach cramps and improve digestive system disorders
by Valerian Herb. Animal testing and clinical research
indicates that Valerian Herb has antispasmodic properties. This
may explain why its valuable for countering spasms of the
muscle tissue in the digestive tract and easing the intestinal
pain that frequently accompanies irritable bowel syndrome. The
herbs calming effect may also contribute to healing; after all,
many digestive disorders are provoked by stress. Note: Valerian
Herb has also been found to be useful for a number of other
disorders. For information on these additional ailments, see
