"Valerian root extract. 1,000mg of alcohol free 30 drop dose. Relieves anxiety with a noticeable calming effect when not over stimulated by drinking coffee or tea in excess. Does not help with sleep. I use for anxiety alone."

"Have taken standardised root extract valarian tablets on and off for over seven months for chronic anxiety. I use a low dose for anxiety only, not for insomnia. Within half an hour I notice a calming effect. On rare occasions valerian has made my anxiety worse, not better. I don't know why this is. Overall I'm glad I found valerian. There are no bad side effects and it definitely works. Some people complain of the bad smell but that doesn't matter to me. I recommend purchasing a standardised product so that you know what you're getting. Low doses work better than high doses for me."
