Valerian Root, also known as Valeriana officinalis, is a perennial herb used for centuries to promote health and well-being. This herb is known for its calming, soothing, and medicinal properties, which can help alleviate many health concerns.
One of the most well-known benefits of Valerian Root is its ability to improve sleep. It is a natural remedy for insomnia and other sleep disorders. Valerian Root works by increasing the levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps to calm the nervous system, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
