About Valeriana

Valeriana, commonly known as Valerian, is a perennial herb native to Europe and parts of Asia, widely recognized for its calming properties. The plant’s roots are the most valued component, rich in volatile oils, valerenic acid, and other compounds that may support relaxation and promote sleep. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, Valeriana is often consumed as tea, tinctures, or capsules. Its natural sedative effects make it popular for managing stress and mild insomnia without the risk of dependency. While generally safe for short-term use, excessive consumption may cause dizziness or digestive discomfort. Valeriana is not typically used in culinary applications due to its distinct, earthy aroma, but it holds a reputable place in wellness-focused regimens. Its nutrient profile is limited, and it’s best utilized as a supplement rather than a primary food source. Always consult a healthcare professional before incorporating Valeriana into your routine.
