Valerian not only smells bad, it is the same herb the Pied Piper used to lure rats, cats, and children out of town. It puts you in a deep, almost coma like sleep. You don't want this. V.R. will dull your senses, and dampen your creativity. Try chamomile instead. |
Vision Thing User ID: 8823087 United States 01/31/2012 10:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't mind the smell of valerian, but it has a strange effect on me that I don't like. Makes my bones feel creepy. For nerves, magnesium is much more effective and to the point. Almost everyone has a magnesium deficiency. Lack of it causes a lot of problems and a lot of mental problems like anxiety and depression. Bookmark this site and do some serious reading there, it is really comprehensive about magnesium: [link to george-eby-research.com] He says take the Magnesium Glycinate form. I get mine from Swanson Vitamins. That's the best deal I've found. |

Mycelium User ID: 9846176 United States 01/31/2012 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As an herbalist, I will tell you what I tell my clients: valerian can often help you fall asleep. If you don't have problems satying asleep once you get there, it is a great choice. Don't us tinctures ot capsules made from dried root, they can cause something called Valerianism after four or five consecutive days of use. Its awful. Crying and emotional disturbance of a pretty high order. They key to treating insomnia is using a sleep herb well-suited to what is causing your sleeplessness. Scullcap is good for wasteful physical energy, like restless leg syndrome, for instance. Don't use lobelia for sleep. I sometimes recommend it as a sedative before a colonoscopy or similar (like a valium) because it relaxes muscles. Taking enough to make you sleep could stim you Vagus nerve enough to make you puke. You don't want that. I recommend you get a tincture of fresh plant or root, if you want to try valerian. You could get a formula that includes kava, they work well to induce sleep and help you stay asleep. |
