Mexican Valerian extract (Valeriana edulis)

Valerian is often called nature’s valium and is widely used to treat insomnia. Studies have shown that it improves sleep quality, increases the speed of falling asleep and encourages deep sleep. But what about its Mexican cousin?

Valeriana edulis or Mexican Valerian has been used traditionally in Mexico for most of the applicattions where we would normally consider the traditional Valerian plant including insomnia, anxiety and emotional stress.

Prominent practitioners report that Mexican Valerian does not appear to have the unpredictable stimulatory effect that sometimes occurs in susceptible individuals with traditional Valerian.
