Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has been utilized for millenia to treat nervous tension and insomnia. Its therapeutic uses were first described by Hippocrates! These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled by hand with a manual encapsulation machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure, unadulterated Valerian 0.8% Extract is in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their labels! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still pack their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive. Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment.Valerian derives its name, in part, from the Latin word "valere" meaning to make strong. Additionally the term can be translated "to be in good health". It was commonly used long before the Romans came to power and was widely popular in Medieval times. Today it is commercially cultivated in Belgium, Holland, England, and India for medicine - mostly for its tranquilizing effects for disorders of the nervous system. Used anciently and promoted in the tenth century by Arab physicians, this native of Europe and Western Asia is still very popular in Europe today, and it is gaining in popularity in the United States. Valerian has become the natural medicine treatment of choice for persons suffering from insomnia both in Europe and the United States. Valerian's non-addictive properties make it a logical alternative to the potentially addictive drugs commonly recommended for sleep in this country. Valerian actually has a weak binding of the same receptors in the brain that the group of drugs known as Benzodiazepines bind. It is important to note that the active compounds in Valerian act weakly when binding Benzodiazepines, compared to drugs like Valium and Xanax. While this action helps explain Valerian's ability to act as a sedative, it is not associated with the dependence and potential addiction common with the above-mentioned drugs. Clinical studies have shown that people taking Valerian demonstrate significantly improved sleep quality without morning grogginess. These same studies suggest that Valerian may have an increased effect against insomnia after using it for a couple of weeks.Research:Scientific Overview of ValerianValerian's Use as a SedativeValerian and InsomniaCaution: Barlowe's Valerian Extract uses only the finest quality Valerian 0.8% Standardized Extract from the most trusted suppliers.
