Valerian

Also known as Valeriana officinalis

This beautiful perennial plant has been used to support sleep, overwhelm and worry since the second century A.D. Germany’s Commission E has approved valerian as a mild sedative and the US Food & Drug Administration has listed valerian as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe). Valerian combines well with other calming herbs such as passionflower and hops to relax the nervous system to help fall asleep and enjoy quality sleep.
