This characteristic explains the importance of using complete extracts (traditional method) since we cannot rely on a single principle to calibrate the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of its constituents have antagonistic effects, which makes its action more balanced: certain active ingredients are sedative in cases of insomnia, while others will have a stimulating effect in cases of fatigue. Essentially a sedative plant, all of valerian's related effects arise from its calming effect on other systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA balancer of the nervous system, valerian reduces nervous irritability and cramps. Its action is a combination of its relaxing effect on smooth muscles and its depressant effect on the central nervous system (CNS). Its valepotriates (responsible for the characteristic odor) have a regulatory effect on the autonomic nervous system. Valerian helps you fall asleep and improves the quality of sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFavorable associations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOATS as an infusion in cases of nervous disorders and withdrawal.

Established in Quebec and in America with the English gardens of medicinal plants, it has escaped and is now widespread around inhabited places. Since Antiquity, it has been found under the name Phu, a name given to it by Dioscorides and which evoked its smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, it was considered more of a diuretic and an emmenagogue, a secondary plant in the pharmacopoeia. A hundred years later, Galen prescribed valerian for insomnia. It must be believed that its smell does not displease everyone since in the Middle Ages it was used as a spice and perfume... In the 18th century, emphasis was placed on its sedative and calming virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 19th century, it was used for all kinds of female disorders, under the broad category of hysteria. It became official medicine in the United States from 1820 to 1946 and is mentioned in the \u003cem\u003eNational Formulary \u003c\/em\u003efrom 1888 to 1946. In 1967, it was still recognized as a medicine in several countries: Germany, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Spain, France, Holland, India, Hungary, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past 25 years, there has been a great return of interest in it: more than 200 scientific publications have been made on it; it is used as a soporific and calming plant in many countries.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 McGuffin Michael et al. \u003cem\u003eBotanical Safety Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e.
