Valerian Root Liquid Tincture (Valeriana Officinalis) Various Sizes 1oz, 2oz ,4oz, 8oz, 16oz, 1/2 gallon and 1 gallon Introduction Valerian ( Valeriana officinalis , Valerianaceae ) is a hardy perennial flowering plant , with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers which bloom in the summer months. Valerian flower extracts were used as a perfume in the sixteenth century. Valerian is used for insomnia and other disorders as an alternative to benzodiazepine drugs, and as a sedative for nervous tension, excitability, stress and intestinal colic or cramps. In the United States , valerian is sold as a nutritional supplement . Therapeutic use has increased as dietary supplements have gained in popularity, especially after the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act was passed in 1994. This law allowed the distribution of many agents as over-the-counter supplements, and therefore allowed them to bypass the regulatory requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Valerian is used for sleeping disorders , restlessness and anxiety, and as a muscle relaxant. Certain data suggests that valerian has an effect that is calming but doesn't cause sleepiness the following day. When used as a sleeping aid, valerian appears to be most effective on users who have difficulty falling asleep. Also noteworthy is that valerian has been shown to have positive results on users who wake up during the night Valerian often seems only to work when taken over longer periods (several weeks), though some users find that it takes effect immediately. Some studies have demonstrated that valerian extracts interact with the GABA receptors. Valerian is also used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal pain and irritable bowel syndrome . However, long term safety studies are absent. Valerian is sometimes recommended as a first-line treatment when risk-benefit analysis dictates. Valerian is often indicated as transition medication when discontinuing benzodiazepines . Valerian has uses in herbal medicine as a sedative . Results of investigations into its effectiveness have been mixed. It has been recommended for epilepsy , but that is not supported by research (although valproic acid —an analogue of one of valerian's constituents, valeric acid —is used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug ).
