Nutramedix Amantilla may be used as a mild sedative which aids relaxation & reduces anxiety. It is a potent liquid extract of the herb Valerian (Valeriana officinalis). Valerian root has been in use for thousands of years both in Europe and elsewhere - the famous Greek physician Dioscorides - author of the first known Pharmocopeia, or 'catalogue of herbs' recommended Valerian for a wealth of different conditions.Today, the most common use of Valerian is in the treatment of insomnia and nervous disorders, and as a mild sedative, and scientific studies have shown that Valerian can be an effective treatment for people with insomnia. Numerous studies have shown that Valerian makes sleep more restful and makes the transition to sleep easier, without increasing the total time spent asleep.Studies have also shown that Valerian can also help the body to cope with stress more effectively, which is no doubt the reason why it has been commonly used as a sedative and tonic for the nervous system since the 18th Century.
