Valerian root is well known for its sleep inducing properties and as an herb to fight anxiety. In recent times it has been used also to fight depression and has even been shown to have some utility in attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome. Valerian is useful in improving psychosomatic conditions, such as stress-induced migraine headaches, digestive upsets, etc. Valerian can also be used in menstrual cramps and has been combined with other plants for relieving hot flashes associated with menopause. Rudolf Steiner points out that the Valerian plant is associated with the energetic properties of phosphorus and its ubiquitous role in the body.
