valerian root
Sleep-promoting botanical supplement
Valerian root is the dried underground portion of the valerian plant, used primarily as a mild sedative and sleep aid.
It has been employed in herbal medicine for centuries to treat insomnia, anxiety, and nervous restlessness.
The root has a distinctively pungent, earthy odor that many find unpleasant.
I take valerian root when I'm having trouble sleeping.
It is typically consumed as a tea, tincture, or in capsule form.
