About Valeriana
Valerian (Valeriana wallichi) — the Indian species of valerian — is one of Ayurveda's primary sedative and sleep-supporting herbs. Known as Tagar in Ayurveda, it has been used for insomnia, anxiety and neurological conditions for centuries. The European and Indian species have slightly different profiles but similar applications. Clinical studies have confirmed valerian's ability to improve sleep quality.
