You probably never realized it but the valerian root is a medicinal herb. Because of its sedative properties, it can induce deep muscle relaxation and sleep.
To make this at-home remedy for insomnia, you have to stir one-half teaspoon of grated valerian root and another one-half teaspoon of nutmeg per two hot cups of water.
Let the mixture steep for about 15 minutes before straining it to drink. Drink this beverage once a month to avoid heart problems and withdrawals.
Valerian tea is also available as well as valerian tincture.
