The modern day therapeutic uses for valerian stem from traditional
Greek medicine which was originally documented by Hippocrates (ca.
460-377 B.C.E.) and later by Dioscorides (first century), author of the
De Materia Medica. During World War I, Europeans afflicted with nerve
symptoms from artillery, frequently took valerian. Valerian is
non-habit-forming and enables a person to wake up feeling refreshed.
