Valerian Root

Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) has been used to ease insomnia, anxiety, and nervous restlessness. Valerian works by increasing the levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates nerves cells and has a calming effect in the body. Valerian has sedative and antispasmodic properties that make it effective in reducing the severity and discomfort of menstrual cramps.
