I got introduced to this incredible herb nearly 30 years ago, soon after my son was born and I was experiencing some postpartum lows. My midwife recommended valerian tea to help.Now no one would ever claim that valerian tastes good. As a matter of fact, the tea (made from the plant's roots) tastes awful.
But the flowers are wonderful, a light sweet scent, and the plant is tall and airy in profile.
Nowadays, valerian is widely available in capsule form. No taste but this ability to wipe away the lows. You don't feel high or impaired. You just realize that whatever was making you grumpy no longer makes you grumpy.
