Does anyone have experience with taking Valerian root for its "calming effect" does it actually work.
Answer:
It is mild. Taking it in large doses may upset your stomach.
I know of no 'herb' you can get high on. Kava Kava is also known for it's calming effects, but you should not take it with beer or liquor, and excessive amounts can cause liver damage.
Valerian can indeed have a calming effect, and if distilled properly can be just as powerful as valium. Most of the essential drops you can get at supplement stores are fairly mild but are helpful as a calming agent for many. If you are accustomed to taking valium however, I doubt valerian will be much use to you.
My hubby drinks tea with valarian root and very rarely complains of insomnia anymore.
It works great for me. I've been using it for years.
It´s never had any effect on me but I know people who swear by it.
I have not personally taken Valerian root, but my sister used to have some issues with getting really excited when she was little, and the doctor used something made out of Valerian root, and my parents say that it worked very well.
Yes, it does work. Valerian has been used as a sleep aid for over 1,000 years. Its ability to help relax the central nervous system, promote feelings of calm, decrease levels of anxiety and stress, and enhance sleep are known to millions the world over.
