Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis)

Actions: Sedative, nervine, hypnotic, antispasmodic, anodyne, hypotensive, carminative.

Common Use: Valerian is one of the most useful relaxing nervines available. This fact is recognized by orthodox medicine as is shown by its inclusion in many pharmacopoeias as a sedative. It has been safely used to reduce tension and anxiety, over-excitability and hysterical states. It is an effective aid in insomnia, producing a natural healing sleep. As an anti-spasmodic it will help in the relief of cramps and intestinal colic and will also be useful for the cramps and pain of periods. As a pain reliever it is indicated when pain is associated with tension, migraines and rheumatic pain. Experiments in Italy and Germany conducted for the past 15 years have found that valerian preparations are effective in treating children with psychomotor agitation (hyperactivity) and behavioral disorders. Unlike other medications for hyperactivity, valerian root has no side effects, even at rather high doses. In fact, in these children, the preparation enhanced motor coordination and maintained reaction time, while calming anxiety and fears, curing restlessness and curbing aggression. 20 to 60 drops 2-3 times daily or as needed. Overuse May Cause Mental Agitation.
