valerian root

I take valerian along with kava kava to help rest at night. Good stuff.

i dunno i tried this stuff called marley's mellow mood an dit had valerian in it but i dunno i'd rather just buy a bottle of valerian apsules as it is cheaper

All the caffeine in that drink would probably cancel out the effects of the valerian and the other supplements.

Try StJohns Wort for a better attitude daily. Research it I think it might be what your looking for.

It smells like dirty feet

Yes. Also, Skullcap, Lobelia, Wild Yam root, Black Cohosh root, Blue Cohosh root. Great as a blend.

Tinctures are often more effective, store longer and digest better than capsules.

Worse than that ..don't use before a hot date, in case it comes out through your pores. I bought some but couldn't get past the smell except for a couple of times. Maybe I'm just sensitive to the smell.

No you're not, the smell is brutal!

Chamomile is a better choice for calming anxiety.

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.

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:

He says take the Magnesium Glycinate form. I get mine from Swanson Vitamins. That's the best deal I've found.

Absolutely!! Good herbal alternatives to drugs or alcohol.

Yep....and pick some of this up too while you are at the pharmacy.

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.

don't cheap out.

Valerian is good.

smells like rotten ass and feet....

but does work very well
