Scientific Evidence

Valerian root has been studied for its anxiolytic effects. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology found 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.
