VALERIAN has been a sleep herb throughout history | |||
Valerian is the herb most people link to sleep. It also helps reduce anxiety and relax muscle tension. During World War I, it was used to treat returning soldiers' shell shock - these days, diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder. | |||
Studies have shown that valerian can be useful for people suffering insomnia, helping them to fall asleep and stay asleep, as well as improving sleep quality. | |||
However, sometimes, valerian can have the opposite effect. In these rare cases, known as a paradoxical reaction, the herb acts as a stimulant, exacerbating the problem of sleeplessness. Anyone who reacts to it in this way should avoid valerian. | |||
