Although some people like the smell of Valerian (Iโm one of them๐๐ผ๐คช), many say that it reminds them of โdirty sweat socksโ. But besides being natureโs 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 โValerianโ is derived from the Latin verb, โValereโ, which commands us to be strong, while the specific epithet โOfficinalisโ 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.โจ๐ฟ
