Botanical Name : Valeriana Wallichi
Common Name: Tagara
Indian Valerian is a perennial plant indigenous to India, and is characterized by its irregularly shaped root. The drug derived from the dried rhizome and rootlets is called Tagar. At one time, it was considered an official medicine and was listed in the Indian and Colonial addendum for use in the Eastern colonies. Tagar is very similar in composition to Valerian, but contains a slightly larger amount of volatile oil. It has stimulant, depressant, sedative, neuroleptic and antispasmodic properties.
Antispasmodic - an agent which relieves or prevents spasms, usually of the smooth muscles. Barbiturates and valerian are examples of antispasmodics.
Calmative - a substance that has a soothing or sedative effect.
Carminative - an agent which assists in expelling gas from the intestines.
Hypnotics form a class of drugs which induce sleep when sleeplessness is not due to a stimulus, such as pain or itching. Hypnotic drugs are closely related to sedatives. A single drug may possess both sedative and hypnotic qualities. Agents classified as sedatives and hypnotics have a common mode of action: they induce a nonselective, reversible decrease in central nervous system activity. Examples of drugs in this class include diazepam, mephobarbital and chloral hydrate.
Nervine - a substance which quells nervousness and irritability, either through depression or stimulation of the central nervous system.
Stomachic - a substance which excites, strengthens and tones the stomach.
Valerian is a strong nervine helpful for insomnia. It contains an essential oil and alkaloids which combine to produce a sedative effect. It can be used as a tranquilizer, and will leave one feeling refreshed rather than sluggish. It is safe and non-narcotic and has been recommended for anxiety. Valerian is commonly used with other herbs for nervous tension, and is usually recommended for short term use, as prolonged use can cause mental depression.
Valerian root has been used for centuries to calm nervous disorders. Scientific experiments conducted with laboratory animals in West Germany have demonstrated that valerian root corrects muscle spasms and tremors, reduces excitement and irritability, lowers high blood pressure, and calms the central nervous system
