Valerian root

Valerian root is a natural herbal supplement derived from the roots of the Valeriana officinalis plant, commonly used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. It contains compounds that may help ease anxiety and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, making it popular as a natural remedy for occasional insomnia. While generally considered safe for short-term use, it can cause side effects like dizziness or digestive upset in some individuals. Valerian root is available in various forms, including capsules, teas, and extracts, and is best used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
