Valerian root is a popular herbal supplement mainly used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Key Health Benefits
• Improves Sleep: Helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, decreases nighttime awakenings, and improves overall sleep quality. It works by increasing levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain, a calming neurotransmitter.
• Eases Anxiety: Acts as a mild tranquilizer to reduce stress, nervousness, and anxious feelings.
• Relieves Menopause Symptoms: May decrease the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
