Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.)  is a perennial plant belonging to the Valerian family. It has been used in herbal medicine as a sedative for over 1,000 years. 

Valerian root, popularly known as valerian root, seems to be the best known and the most chemically and pharmacologically researched plant sedative, recommended for moderate insomnia, especially in difficulty falling asleep caused by states of tension and nervous arousal.

Clinical studies to date have shown that valerian is effective in insomnia and improving sleep quality. Moreover, it was also shown that the positive effect of valerian on sleep included subjects from different age groups. 

Valerian increases the length of sleep without affecting the depth of the REM phase, shortens the time needed to fall asleep, improves the quality of sleep and well-being during the day. It does not cause morning weakness like sleeping pills. 

Valerian can be an alternative to traditional anti-anxiety drugs, which have many side effects. Valerian has positive effects when combined with many calming herbs, e.g. lemon balm and hop cones. In ailments related to impaired heart function, the combination of valerian and hawthorn has a positive effect.

The dried plant root has a specific, quite intense smell. Due to its sleep-inducing properties, valerian should not be used while driving.
