Valerian: The Classic Sleep Herb

Valeriana officinalis, commonly known as valerian, is an herb native to Asia and Europe. Flowers from the valerian plant were used to make perfume centuries ago, and the root portion has been used in traditional medicine for at least 2,000 years.

Valerian root contains a number of compounds that may promote sleep and reduce anxiety. Valerian root also contains the antioxidants hesperidin and linarin, which appear to have sedative and sleep-enhancing properties.
