Valerian Root in Treating Sleep Problems and Associated Disorders-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Meta-analysis / review
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 60 studies found that valerian (Valeriana officinalis) could be a safe and effective herb to improve subjective sleep quality and reduce anxiety, with more reliable effects from the whole root/rhizome, attributing inconsistent past results to variable extract quality.
