Valerian Root and Blue Vervain are two beautiful herbs have been cherished for centuries for their calming and restorative properties.
When my mother passed on, I relied on these herbs to make it through the grief and stress. They have also been in my arsenal during times of anxiety, upheaval and major life changes.
Let’s dive into the benefits of these beautiful botanicals.
Blue Vervain: Herbal Relaxation
Blue vervain (Verbena hastata), often referred to as the “herb of grace,” has a rich history in traditional medicine. It is believed to carry soothing properties and ability to support emotional and physical health. Here are some purported effects of Blue Vervain:

- Supports Restful Sleep: By calming the nervous system and promoting relaxation, Blue Vervain can also contribute to better sleep quality.
Valerian Root: A Natural Source of Tranquility
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is often referred to as nature’s tranquilizer because it is believed to have potent sedative effects. Used since ancient Greek and Roman times, this herb is considered to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Here are a few potential benefits of including Valerian Root in your wellness routine:

R-Tran (Relaxant-Tranquility): Combining Valerian Root and Blue Vervain
In my research and experience, I have found that Valerian Root with Blue Vervain creates a very complimentary effect. I believe that together, they calm both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Something I really love about using these two herbs together is the versatility. They can be used during the day for stress and anxiety management, but are unlikely to cause drowsiness. And, they can be used to promote better sleep quality without creating grogginess the next morning.
In a nutshell, Valerian Root and Blue Vervain are a wonderfully soothing duo that can be used day and night to promote a sense of relaxation and tranquility.
