Valerian (Sugandhawal)

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis, Caprifoliaceae) is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. Valerian is an herb. Medicine is made from the root. Valerian is most commonly used for sleep disorders, especially the inability to sleep (insomnia). There isn’t enough research evidence to support the use of valerian root in the treatment of anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder (SAD). However, some people who take the supplement regularly have shared that it makes them feel calm, and reduces nervous tension and stress.
