What is Valerian?
Valerian is a perennial plant originating in Europe and Asia. There are more than 250 types of valerian, though V. officinalis is the type typically used in Europe and the United States. Valerian root has been used for centuries by people as a mild sedative to help with or relieve sleep disorders. The plant's roots can be used in a variety of forms, including tinctures, teas, extracts and capsules. As a supplement, valerian root is regulated in the United States as a food instead of a drug. Valerian extracts are increasingly gaining popularity due to their ability in fighting sleep related problems. Although other uses are still in experimental stages in clinical studies, there are suggestions that Valerian extracts can be effective in the prevention of symptoms associated with learning difficulties, menopause, sleep disorders and stress among others.
Sleep Disorders:
Valepotriates and sesquiterpenes in valerian root have sedative effects that aid in inducing sleep. Regular consumption of the root tea can help with sleep disorders. The sleep-wake cycle in humans is regulated by melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. Melatonin in the form of a drug is often given to sleep disorders patients for healthy sleep. However, valerian root tea is a better alternative remedy for sleep disorders in both adults and children as melatonin medications can cause unwanted side effects. A study in sleep disorders patients showed that it significantly improved the quality of sleep.
Calming Effects:
Valerian root contains valerenic acid that increases the amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter responsible for reducing by regulating the activity of nerve cells. It has greater effects when combined with passion flower. Application of the valerian root extract prepared from valerian seeds can have calming effects on the nervous system. Some studies have shown its therapeutic effects on patients suffering from nervous disorders.
Stress:
Chronic stress due to different lifestyle factors often has an impact on the overall health of an individual. A marked increase in corticosterone levels causes physical and psychological stress, causing unexpected health problems. In a recent study, it was shown that valerian root extract significantly reduced the corticosterone levels.
High Blood Pressure:
High blood pressure might lead to several health complications such as kidney problems, heart and brain disorders. Major studies have shown its positive effects on blood pressure.
Memory Improvement:
The tincture of dried valerian root can enhance memory performance and problem-solving skills in both kids and adults. A study revealed the powerful effects of valerenic acid on memory function.

Final Comment:
Valerian is a safe herbal choice for the help you sleep better and has good tolerability. Most studies suggest that it is more effective when used continuously rather than as an acute sleep aid. A potential advantage of valerian over benzodiazepines is the lack of sleepiness on awakening when used at the recommended dosages. Valerian also may be helpful in weaning patients with sleep disorders from benzodiazepines.
