Valerian Root is known traditionally as an herbal sedative. The body's ability to relax is closely related to the circadian rhythm. This rhythm is regulated by the neuroendocrine system which allows the body to either focus inwardly to relax and repair; or focus outwardly, responding to the daily drive.
Often we see patients with "wired but tired" symptoms, due in part to a longstanding imbalance with GI function in general. We know that the chemicals which allow the body to relax are generated in the small intestine through serotonin synthesis. These inhibitory neurotransmitters keep adrenalin in check and allow the body to relax. Valerian Root has been shown to assist in enhancing the relaxation cycle. Used rightly, it may provide symptomatic relief while addressing the underlying factors behind insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness.
Nutritionally, Valerian Root has a larger concentration of calcium than any other known herb on the planet. This information may explain Valerian's historical ability to instill calmness and serenity in an anxious body.
Core Valerian may be used as a complementary remedy in any healing strategy to assist with calming and relaxing a patient while addressing the underlying causal factors behind unrest.
