Valeriana officinalis

Description

Also known as Garden Valerian, Garden Heliotrope, and All-Heal. Used for a variety of ailments in both humans and horses, including sleeping disorders and anxiety. More scientific evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of valerian for these uses.

The roots have a pungent odor, considered unpleasant by many and sometimes compared to the smell of sweaty socks. Cats are highly attracted to the scent in the same way that they are catnip, having a tendency to bite the root and rub against it. The odor is also attractive to rats, as legend has it that the Pied Piper of Hamelin used valerian to attract the rats when luring them out of town.
