Valian-X

     Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) of the family Valerianaceae. The primary properties of Valerian are considered to be anodyne, antispasmodic, antibacterial, astringent, anxiolytic, carminative, hypnotic, muscle relaxant, nervine, and sedative. The herb is generally available as a tea, tincture, or capsule. The known primary constituents include valepotriates, alkaloids (chatinine, valerine), valeric acid, essential oils (acetic acid, borneol, pinene, camphene), caffeic acid, beta-sitosterol, tannin, manganese, calcium, choline, and B vitamins.

     Valerian extract, derived from the dried rhizomes and roots of the plant, has been used for thousands of years as a folk remedy, tranquilizer and calmative for several disorders such as restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, hysteria, menstrual problems, and as a sedative for "nervous" stomach.

     Valerian extracts are currently used in scores of compounds and teas in Europe . Most current applications of this herb for insomnia work by disrupting natural sleep rhythms. Natural sedatives, free of side effects, are constantly being sought.In the early 80's many people turned to L-tryptophan (no longer available) as a sleep aid. More recently western consumers have become aware of the benefits of low-dose melatonin. Now health conscious consumers in Europe and United States are discovering that valerian root has a calming effect and helps them fall asleep more easily. The German Commission E monograph for health authorities indicates that valerian is a safe and effective anti-anxiety agent and sedative for treatment of restlessness and sleep disturbances resulting from nervous conditions.
     Valerian is perhaps best characterized as a minor tranquilizer when administered in the form of a tea, a tincture or an extract. During the past three decades extensive studies on Valerian have identified several unstable esters called valepotriates believed to be the primary source of the plants sedative effects. Researchers have found that although Valerian is effective in producing depression of the central nervous system, neither the tested valepotriates, nor the sesquiterpenes valerenic acid or valeranone, nor the volatile oil itself displayed any such activity. This has led to speculation that it is a combination of volatile oil components, valepotriates or their derivatives that is responsible for Valerians calmative actions. For example, a 1985 study conducted in the Netherlands showed no anxiety-reducing activity by an extract of valerian root or purified valepotriates.      Overall, Valerian is relatively safe and no significant side effects or contraindications are noted. Valerian can interact with alcohol, certain antihistamines, muscle relaxants, psychotropic drugs and narcotics, so those taking any of these drugs should take valerian only under the supervision of a health care provider. Large doses can cause some people to feel depressed, nauseous, headachy and lethargic. Some individuals, especially those already overheated, may find Valerian stimulating rather than sedating if the body's natural enzymes do not convert the volatile oils in Valerian into valerianic acid. Valerian is not suggested during pregnancy, except in very small doses, as well as for people with very low blood pressure or hypoglycemia
