Valerian roots herbal tea, 50 g - Norden Natur

What the product is

Norden Natur valerian root is a 100% herbal tea made from Radices Valerianae, a plant most often chosen for evening relaxation, reducing inner tension and preparing for sleep. Valerian has a specific, rich herbal aroma and a fairly recognizable taste, so it is usually bought not as an ordinary drink with food, but as a functional herb for those days when the nervous system is overloaded, thoughts do not stop for a long time, and the body finds it difficult to switch into rest mode.

When people choose it

Valerian is especially relevant with a stressful schedule, emotional tiredness, intense work, study, changes in routine or periods when sleep becomes more superficial. It does not “switch off” a person instantly and does not work like a sleeping pill, but it may help create a calmer transition to sleep:

• reduce the feeling of nervous excitement
• relax the body
• make the evening less abrupt after an active day

Key components

The main active substances of valerian are:

• valerenic acids
• essential oils
• other plant compounds

In studies, valerian is examined in connection with its effect on the nervous system and receptors involved in relaxation processes. In simple words, this plant is interesting because it supports the natural mechanisms of calming down, rather than simply giving a pleasant herbal taste. That is why valerian root has long been used in blends for sleep, rest and emotional balance.

How to use it

Valerian root can be brewed:

• on its own
• combined with mint, lemon balm, chamomile, motherwort and other herbs for a softer taste
