Valerian root
Maybe you know it. The flowering plant with its delicate flowers and specific smell: valerian. Although the plant itself does not mean much to your health, its root does. In fact, valerian root contributes to normal resistance to stress and supports sleep*. Hence, valerian root is often used as a soothing herbal tea.
Even in ancient times, in the time of the Greeks and Romans, valerian was used for these reasons. In flower symbolism, valerian represents: “Do not tarnish my dignity; out of my way.”
