Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Capitate Valerian (Valeriana capitata) is a species related to the more commonly known Valeriana officinalis (garden valerian), which has a long-standing traditional use as a natural remedy for anxiety and sleep disorders. While the roots of valerian plants have been used in various cultures, especially in Europe and Asia, to promote relaxation and alleviate anxiety, most of the scientific studies and clinical trials focus on Valeriana officinalis, not specifically on Valeriana capitata. The traditional use of valerian for anxiety is based on historical herbal medicine practices, where it was brewed as a tea or taken as an extract. The evidence supporting the effectiveness of valerian in anxiety is mixed, with some small-scale studies showing modest benefit and others showing no significant difference compared to placebo. Importantly, there is a lack of robust, high-quality scientific evidence specifically for Valeriana capitata; therefore, its use for anxiety is justified mainly by tradition and extrapolation from related species. Overall, while valerian root is popular in traditional medicine for anxiety, the strength of evidence is limited and should be interpreted with caution.
