Valerian Root Extract Tincture  Valeriana Officinalis  Stress, Sleep Aid Valerian is a perrenial herb that has pink and white flowers, and is indigenous to Europe and Western Asia. Today Valerian can also be found growing in North America. Valerian has been widely used for centuries as a non-addictive (typically) mild sedative and relaxant.  When used as a sleep aid, Valerian has been found to have no lasting effects, meaning there should be no morning drowsiness when taken the previous night. Valerian is a very complex herb, consisting of many different active ingredients. Many of its effects are claimed to come from the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a primary neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system. Valerian also contains numerous alkaloids, fatty acids, flavonoids, and other active constituents, all contributing in different ways to the various effects from this magnificent plant.
