Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis), also known as common
valerian or garden heliotrope, notes usage back to ancient Greece and Rome.
Texts from this era mention its use as a natural remedy for sleeplessness and
anxiety. Even its name whispers of its medicinal properties, with
"valere" translating to "to be well" in Latin.
Traditionally, the dried roots and rhizomes of Valeriana
officinalis are used medicinally. it is most consumed in capsule or tincture
form (due to its less than pleasant aroma & taste) to promote relaxation
and ease insomnia. It can also alleviate symptoms of anxiety, though research
is ongoing. It's important to note that while generally safe for short-term
use, Valeriana officinalis can interact with certain medications and may cause
side effects.
Valerian leaves were historically used as a flavoring agent in
some parts of Europe. The strong-smelling roots, while not generally considered
palatable by humans, have an interesting effect on cats. Much like catnip,
valerian root can induce a playful and excitable state in felines.
Its association with relaxation and sleep has led to its use in
rituals intended to promote peaceful dreams or prophetic visions. It's also
been incorporated into spells for calmness and tranquility.
