Valerian root - Valeriana officinalis

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a plant native to Europe and parts of Asia and has been in the spotlight for its calming properties for centuries. The root of valerian is the part traditionally used and is mainly associated with promoting sleep and reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. Among the many varieties of valerian, Valeriana officinalis is the best known and most widely used in Western countries. The use of valerian as a natural sleep aid is especially popular among people dealing with stress or an overactive nervous system, due to its supposed sedative effects on the central nervous system. Many people choose valerian as a natural way to relax in the evening and promote restful sleep, especially in times when a hectic lifestyle and stress make it difficult to unwind.

Use

You can prepare valerian as a tea. To do this, use a few tablespoons to half a litre of water and let it boil gently in a covered pan for 5 minutes to prevent the beneficial vapours from escaping. Let it cool for a while and then drink it with some honey.

Storage advice

It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure a balanced diet; dietary supplements are not a substitute for this. They should always be kept out of the reach of small children. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose and store supplements in a cool, dry and dark place. In case of health problems, medication use, pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is important to seek medical advice first. Discontinue use immediately if adverse side effects occur.
