Benefits and Uses of Valerian Root C/S (Cut & Sifted)

1. Natural Sleep Aid & Insomnia Relief

Valerian root is most famous for its sedative properties, helping to improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime awakenings, and shorten the time it takes to fall asleep—without morning grogginess.

2. Anxiety & Stress Reduction

Acts as a mild anxiolytic by increasing GABA (a calming neurotransmitter) in the brain, easing nervous tension, restlessness, and mild panic attacks.

3. Muscle Relaxation & Pain Relief

Helps relieve muscle cramps, spasms, and tension headaches due to its antispasmodic effects. Often used for menstrual pain or backaches.

4. Supports Heart Health

May lower blood pressure and reduce heart palpitations linked to stress by promoting relaxation of the nervous system.

5. Digestive Comfort

Traditionally used to soothe nervous stomachs, indigestion, and IBS symptoms triggered by anxiety.

6. ADHD & Focus Support

Some studies suggest valerian may improve focus and reduce hyperactivity in ADHD when combined with other herbs like lemon balm.

7. Menopausal Symptom Relief

Helps reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings by balancing stress responses during hormonal fluctuations.

Common Uses of Valerian Root (C/S):

• Tea: Steep 1 tsp dried root in hot water (best for sleep or relaxation).
