𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴 • Valerian Root aka “Nature’s Tranquilizer” is on the other side of the fragrance spectrum. Although some people like the smell of Valerian (I’m one of them👃🏼🤪), many say that it reminds them of “dirty sweat socks”. But besides being nature’s stinky sleep remedy, Valeriana Officinalis is a reliable strong sedative, though a few people may feel the opposite effect and find it quite stimulating. It has been using medicinally since the times of early Greece and Rome; and even Hippocrates wrote about its uses. In fact, the generic name “Valerian” is derived from the Latin verb, “Valere”, which commands us to be strong, while the specific epithet “Officinalis” refers to the medicinal properties of the species.
Historically, Valerian was used to treat nervousness, trembling, headaches, and heart palpitations. Valerian root may help reduce anxiety related to acute stress and improve symptoms of OCD. It may also increase focus and reduce hyperactive behaviour in children. Today, Valerian is widely used for insomnia, upper respiratory problems, nervous complaints, pain relief, skin problems and cramps. It is a powerful nervine, stimulant, carminative and is also anti-spasmodic.✨🌿
