The Plant:
Valerian is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia, widely cultivated across China for its essential oil. Its name derives from the Latin word ‘valere’ meaning ‘to feel good’ or ‘to be well’. Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least ancient Greek and Roman times; the physician Galen prescribed it for insomnia in the 2nd century AD. It remains one of the most well-researched natural remedies for anxiety and sleep disorders available today.
