INSOMNIA - Valerian root contains many different constituents, including volatile oils that appear to contribute to the sedating properties of the herb. Central nervous system sedation is regulated by receptors in the brain known as GABA-A receptors. Valerian appears to attach to these receptors exerting a sedating effect. Double-blind trials have found that valerian is an effective treatment for people with mild to moderately severe insomnia.
CNS SEDATIVE - Valerian is noted for its ability to normal the central nervous system, acting as a sedative in cases of extreme agitation, and as a stimulant in extreme fatigue.
