VALERIANA
Valerian, or Valeriana officinalis, is a plant native to Europe and northern Asia, and today naturalized all over the world. It was prescribed in Ancient Greece for treating insomnia. Romans for their part, used it to combat palpitations and arrhythmias. In Europe, valerian was recommended during the Middle Ages as a tranquilizer and sleeping pill, and toward the end of the 16th century, for treating epilepsy. It was also for this purpose that Amerindians used it in America.The popularity and virtues of valerian have not diminished over time; it is still commonly used in herbal medicine to treat stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
Valerian was shown to promote sleepiness in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, where 8 participants with mild insomnia were given valerian extract.
Other double-blind studies have shown that valerian is more effective than placebo, and that it is as effective as classical pharmaceutical treatments for insomnia.
Another study involving 82 elderly subjects with nervous behavioral disorders (including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty sleeping during the night, and rapid fatigue due to sleep disorders) showed significant improvements in falling asleep and staying asleep during the night. It also showed a significant decrease in fatigue after 14 days of treatment.
The use of valerian for treating restlessness, anxiety, and sleep disorders is recognized by the German Commission E, ESCOP, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
