Valerian Extract - China

valerian extract Product No: OHI-000056 Active Ingredient: valeric or

valerenic acid.

Specification: 0.8% Test Method UV-VIS For

centuries, the tall perennial herb with pinkish flowers known as

valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has been enlisted to help restless

insomniacs get a sound night's sleep.

Today this mild, nonaddictive

sedative is quite popular both as a sleep aid and as an anxiety fighter,

particularly in Germany, France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

And in

recent years its popularity has grown enormously in the United States as

well.

This graceful plant grows wild in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Its underground stems and roots are harvested and dried to make healing

preparations.

Health Benefits Although there has long been controversy

over what makes valerian so effective as a relaxant, it is increasingly

accepted that this herb does, in fact, work as the ancients once claimed

it did.

In addition to promoting sound sleep, valerian has a reputation

for easing anxiety and relaxing tense muscles.

It may also have a role

to play in relieving digestive conditions, such as diverticulosis and

irritable bowel syndrome.

Valerian added to bath water in the form of a

very strong herbal tea or as an essential oil is said to have a calming

effect, although specific scientific evidence is sparse.

Specifically,

valerian may help to:

Improve sleep.

In the brain, valerian is thought to bind to receptors for a nerve chemical called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

By blocking some nerve impulses from reaching the brain, the herb seems to shorten the amount of time it takes to fall asleep as well as improve the quality of sleep that results.

And, unlike some of the more commonly prescribed sleep medications, valerian is not addictive.

Nor does it cause morning grogginess (when taken at recommended doses), as some prescription drugs do.

Numerous studies of insomniacs have shown that those who take valerian fall asleep faster than participants given a placebo.

The quality of sleep improves as well, according to several recent studies.

In one placebo-controlled trial of 27 people with insomnia, Swedish researchers found that 89% of those who were given a valerian preparation reported improved sleep, with 44% rating their sleep as 'perfect.
