Valerian is an herb. Medicine is made from the root.
Valerian is most commonly used for sleep disorders, especially the inability to sleep (insomnia). It is frequently combined with hops, lemon balm, or other herbs that also cause drowsiness. Some people who are trying to withdraw from the use of “sleeping pills” use valerian to help them sleep after they have tapered the dose of the sleeping pill. There is some scientific evidence that valerian works for sleep disorders, although not all studies are positive.
Valerian is also used for conditions connected to anxiety and psychological stress including nervous asthma, hysterical states, excitability, fear of illness (hypochondria), headaches, migraine, and stomach upset.
Some people use valerian for depression, mild tremors, epilepsy, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Valerian is used for muscle and joint pain. Some women use valerian for menstrual cramps and symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes and anxiety.
Sometimes, valerian is added to bath water to help with restlessness and sleep disorders.
In manufacturing, the extracts and oil made from valerian are used as flavoring in foods and beverages.
I have. Thought it would just help me relax after an anxious rollercoaster of a day.
About ten minutes after having consumed Valerian tea, the lovely hot concoction literally sedated me. It was like I was sedated with general aenesthetics or something: I passed out on the couch with little or no desire to do so when I was near an anxiety attack fifteen minutes prior.
"Diazepam (Valium) is a synthetic analouge to Valerien. That is to say, that while to the best of my knowledge Valium doesn't come from Valirien, the active comounds are chemically the same or at least, very similar."
space cadet. n. Slang. One who shows difficulty in grasping or responding appropriately to serious or necessary concerns; a spacy person: "the screwups and the space cadets—in other words, the fringe element" (Linda Ellerbee).
A drug is a drug, if it exists in nature or is sinthetic seems to be just a detail. Valerian, I remember the comic, apreciated scy fi then, pure escapism, escapism is ultimately bad.
