Usage
Primarily for insomnia, Nature's Way Valerian works like a sedative helping you to relax, and to sleep deeply and restfully, reducing night awakenings as well as increasing dream recall the next day. It is also sometimes used for relief from anxiety and stress. It has also been found to be useful for cramping, dysmenorrhea, rheumatic pains, epilepsy, and nerve-related high blood pressure.

History
Valerian derives its name, in part, from the Latin word valere meaning to make strong. Additionally the term can be translated to mean to be in good health. It was commonly used long before the Romans came to power, was widely popular in Medieval times. Today it is commercially cultivated in Belgium, Holland, England, and India for medicine -- mostly for its tranquilizing effects for disorders of the nervous system. Used anciently and promoted in the tenth century by Arab physicians, this native of Europe and Western Asia is still very popular in Europe today. It is also used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages.

Valerian root contains two substances of special pharmacological interest--valepotriates and sesquiterpenes. The former, which has been used for standardization of the drug, is cytotoxic. The latter has no such effect. Both have sedative effects. A double blind test has been carried out on a preparation (VALERINA NATT) containing primarily sesquiterpenes. When compared with placebo it showed a good and significant effect on poor sleep (p less than 0.001). Forty-four percent reported perfect sleep and 89% reported improved sleep from the preparation. No side effects were observed.₁

 
Valerian is a botanical used for its sedative effects whose central nervous system activity is ascribed to multiple constituents. Twenty-three established outpatient symptomatic Hispanic volunteers receiving mental health services at a large urban hospital participated in this case study. All complained of insufficient sleep. They were asked to try a popular national brand of valerian ("Nature's Way", 470 mg valerian root) and completed sleep questionnaires at baseline and at the end of Weeks 1 and 2. They were instructed to take 1 capsule each night before retiring and were allowed to increase their dose to a maximum of 3 capsules after Week 1. Twenty patients completed the trial. On an ordinal scale of 1 (no effect), 3 (moderately helpful), and 5 (extremely helpful), 16 patients rated their insomnia as at least "moderately improved" at the end of Week 1. By Week 2, 16 still rated themselves at least "moderately improved," but 15 of them now described their response as either a 4 or a 5. Global improvement at Week 2 was significantly better than at Week 1 (Wilcoxon ranks test p = .005), perhaps reflecting a time-dependent or dose-response relationship. This case study suggests that valerian can be a supplement for improving insomnia in a symptomatic population.₂
