Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Posted June 6, 2002 Hi, All Does anyone know something significant about valerian root, or had experience with it? Thanks. Morton Quote
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Posted June 6, 2002 Yes - I have taken valerian to help me sleep at times - it is very good because it does not leave you feeling 'doped' the next morning. I am just about to grow 1 type (valerian minore) for myself to see how it goes and if I can make a near drinkable tea for myself.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Posted June 7, 2002 Hi, Marianne Thanks for the response. That's exactly why I am interested in it. Does it give you a restful sleep? I am not in a position to start to garden. Have you ever bought any in a store, health or otherwise? Is it in capsules, dry pills....? You make a tea out of it - do you get the root (if it is actually a root) and brew it? I really do not want to go into prescription poisons!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Posted June 7, 2002 I have only ever taken what I can buy in a store Morton, I have only just found the seeds to grow my own and have no idea if I will ever use it, the flowers are very pretty to look at though (LOL). You can get several different variations here in the UK, I have one lot that are capsules and called Valerian Root, then another which is hard pill and contains a couple of other natural ingredients, valerian extract, hop extract & lemon balm extract (I find these the best ones) and are called Valerina. If you buy the capsules, you can make a tea out of them if that is what you prefer. They do give a restful sleep and you don't wake up in a fog as you would if you went for precribed sleeping pills. Hope that helps. Marianne > Hi, Marianne > Thanks for the response. That's exactly why I am interested in it. > Does it > give you a restful sleep?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Posted June 7, 2002 Thanks. Maybe the pleasing look of the flower in itself can have therapeutic value. I will look into it.
