Scientific Evidence
- Valerian root has been studied for its anxiolytic effects. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology demonstrated that valerian significantly improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia symptoms compared to a placebo.
Additional Information
- Valerian root is believed to work by increasing the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which has a calming effect. Peppermint is often added to enhance the taste and aid in digestion.
- Pharmacological Effects: Valerian root is thought to act on GABA receptors in the brain, similar to benzodiazepines, resulting in its anxiolytic and sedative properties.
- Clinical Trials: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the International Journal of Psychopharmacology showed that a combination of valerian and peppermint significantly reduced anxiety symptoms in participants compared to a placebo.
