Valeriana Officinalis is the scientific name given to the homeopathic strain obtained from valerian. The latter is none other than a plant native to North Asia and Europe belonging to the Valerianaceae family. It consists of pink or white flowers with umbel-shaped peduncles. Valeriana Officinalis is extracted from the roots of the valerian to obtain a liquid preparation called "mother tincture". This homeopathic process consists of eliminating the toxicity of the strain and optimizing its therapeutic properties. In fact, Valeriana Officinalis is a remedy indicated in the treatment of several types of pain and spasms and cases of insomnia. To obtain optimal results, the patient should deprive himself of mint, coffee or tobacco during a treatment with Valeriana Officinalis and the intake should be done outside the hours of the three meals.
Insomnia
Valeriana Officinalis has a sedative effect on people suffering from insomnia caused by chronic pain. This remedy is therefore indicated for patients with hypersensitivity to pain and frequent mood swings. It can also be administered as a sedative to patients under severe stress who usually suffer from sleep disorders, including initial insomnia or myoclonus of falling asleep.
Spasmophilia
The field of action of Valeriana Officinalis is mainly oriented towards pain and spasms of a psychological nature. The antispasmodic properties of Valeriana Officinalis help to calm spasms of the digestive tract in case of gastric pain. This remedy also soothes spasms of the laryngeal muscle in spasmophilic subjects. In addition, a treatment based on Valeriana Officinalis reduces muscle myoclonus caused by spasmophilic attacks.
Valeriana Officinalis works in parallel with anxiolytics in the treatment of lower back pain or sciatica caused by chronic anxiety or too much excitement. Its sedative effects allow, among other things, to relieve lumbosacral pain in athletes who have difficulty managing the pressure of competition.
Recommended dosages in case of insomnia
To treat insomnia, it is necessary to take Valeriana Officinalis in oral drops at a dilution of 1 DH. One dose is equivalent to 20 drops of hydro-alcoholic solution to be diluted in half a glass of water three times a day. The first two doses should be taken before lunch and dinner and the last before going to bed. Depending on the severity of the sleep disorders, treatment can last from 1 to 3 months.
Recommended dosages in case of spasmodic pain
To take homeopathic granules, simply place them under the tongue until they melt. It should be noted, however, that a granule of Valeriana Officinalis is composed of a mixture of lactose and sucrose. Treatments for spasmodic and chronic pain based on this remedy require the same dosage, at a rate of 5 granules, twice a day. This daily dose is particularly recommended in case of muscle and gastric spasms. The dilution of the remedy will depend on the severity of the pain and should vary between 4 and 5 CH. When Valeriana Officinalis is taken as an antispasmodic, the treatment will last for three months.
