Heal Naturally – Day 10
And a study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that a water based infusions of valerian worked amazingly well for stopping epileptic seizures. Studies with valerian with hyperactive children show that 100% of the children had excellent improvement… with a reduction of 75% in symptoms. European studies on headaches show valerian works wonders… and studies in the US show that valerian works exceedingly well for anxiety, insomnia, and stress.
Valerian also helps with depression, shingles, nerve pain, mood enhancement, epilepsy, panic attacks, tension, ADD and ADHD, sciatica, MS, hysteria, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other stress related diseases. It can also help with tachycardia and irregular heart beats… creating a natural rhythm for the heart… and it can stabilize blood pressure and help prevent blood clots too.
Valerian is a powerful antioxidant helping to scavenge away free radicals and slow the aging process and help prevent degradation of cell walls. Plus it also works to protect the brain from the effects of stress from insomnia… working to prevent damage to the brain by lipid oxidation.
Valerian should not be taken with alcohol, other sleeping aids, certain medications… and should not be taken while driving or operating machinery because it can cause drowsiness.
But valerian is one of those herbs you should have around all the time… great for the stressful lifestyles we live today.
You can buy valerian in capsules, pills, teas, and infusions on-line or at your local health food store.
