Valerian root has always been known for its calming and anti-nervousness effects, to facilitate falling asleep, followed by restorative and peaceful sleep.

However, like most commonly used plants, valerian does not have a "sleeping" effect and can therefore be taken during the day, even to drive or take an exam. On the contrary, it will facilitate concentration, maintaining calm in the mind and mental serenity.

To try to explain the diversity of symptoms that it can help to treat, we should look into its properties specific to helping the individual find the right distance between themselves and their emotions. Valerian helps you to be wide awake when you are awake, to act in full awareness, but thus to fall asleep more easily when it's time to sleep.

Its particular aroma puts it at a disadvantage. It is advantageously mixed with passionflower, hawthorn, lemon verbena and lemon balm.

NOTE: Some people may experience “adverse” effects when taking valerian. These people will then turn to passionflower, hawthorn, eschcholtzia!
