BuddhaTeas Valerian Tea

A popular choice for sufferers of insomnia or stress is valerian root tea, an herbal synthesis of the valerian root’s dried stem that provides the plant’s beneficial chemicals and sedative qualities. The physiological effects of the root are comparable to prescription drugs like Xanax, in that they both increase levels of gamma aminobutyric acid in the brain that lessens neurological properties of nerves, although valerian is of course much less potent compared to a pharmacological alternative. Valerian has been implemented for its traditional use for hundreds of years by European nations, using it forsleeplessness or as a sedative.
