Valarian

valeriana officinalis

CAUTION
Should be used sparingly
(tea only once or twice per day)
because extended use and large doses
may produce symptoms of poisoning.

Recently scientists have learned the aqueous extract of valerian
contains substantial quantities of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
a neurotransmitter that is thought to inhibit brain's arousal system.
