Valerian can grow to be just over 6 feet tall and has a strong odor. It seems to act as a sedative in the brain and nervous system. Valerian has been used as a traditional medicine dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Unlike the plant’s delicately scented flowers, valerian roots have a very strong odor that many people find unpleasant. It is also commonly used and may help as an ingredient in sleep aid supplements as a result of its calming properties.
Precaution:
Pregnant women or women trying to become pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and infants shouldn’t take any herbal, medicinal, or natural intakes. The only reason is for the sake of the little ones, the body has not yet developed its full immunity.
