Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) A root that has been used
for thousands of years for its calming, relaxing, grounding, and
emotionally balancing influences. During the last three decades, it has
been clinically investigated for its tranquilizing properties. Researchers
have pinpointed the sesquiterpenes valerenic acid and valerone as the
active constituents that exert a calming effect on the central nervous
system. German health authorities have pronounced valerian to be an
effective treatment for restlessness and for sleep disturbances.
