Who might benefit from this herbal supplements?
Valerian has a long history of use as a sedative and sleep
aid. Many consider Valerian to be the strongest western
herbal central nervous system sedative. Valerian will
quiet a busy mind. It can promote sleep for those who
cannot fall asleep and helps those who wake up in the
middle of the night. Repeat the doses as needed within a
night to facilitate sleep. The liquid is significantly faster in
action compared to a tablet or capsule, which must be
digested before it can be absorbed, so liquids are pre-
ferred for fastest action. It will help calm one down
when going through difficult emotional and mental times
or when in therapy and in turmoil. Taking Valerian during
the day can make one feel tired, sedated or a little out of
it. Thus, caution is advised. This can sometimes be con-
trolled my altering the dosage.
Many consider valerian to be the strongest western
herbal painkiller as well. It will reduce pain in the mus-
culo-skeletal system (i.e. muscle and joint pain from
injury, accidents, work outs, surgeries). Valerian may be
enough to control pain after relatively mild surgeries or
dental procedures. It is also a smooth muscle relaxer for
pain from menstrual cramps, digestive cramps, gall blad-
der and kidney stones. According to herbalists, Valerian
will not remove all pain like a pharmaceutical pain killer
but will instead, reduce the percent of pain recognition
by 10-50%.
Contrary to popular belief, Valium was not derived
from Valerian. They sound alike and are used for similar
conditions, but are not related. The generally acknowl-
edged active constituent, especially for purposes of stan-
dardization, is valerenic acid,
