Best used for anxiety, works really well.

[@hebrewhammer8571]

During the day?

[@getwell587]

Will it make you sleepy during the day?

[@s8nwulf]

I use to get valerian root in a smokable vape juice form and I used it throughout the day and worked wonders. It made me very calm and helped to reduce my overall stress. To me I don’t see it as a sleep aid because using it in this way you would feel the affects a lot stronger and a lot quicker. Because you’re smoking it of course! I use it as sort of an ‘upper’ in relation to how it makes me feel! And it works well.

[@pierrelabounty9917]

Works fine. I prefer it over other herbs. I didn't know you could smoke it.

[@qubo298]

how beautiful ur smile is !

[@davlor86]

Valerian alone doesn’t make me sleep, I have to also use CBN or CBD, the two together work perfect

[@BenjHouston]

My valerian says a serving is 1,590mg (Natures Way) but the internet says 1,060 is considered toxic? Do you know why?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Sorry Ben, this is something you would need to ask Nature's Way, we can't comment on on anther company's product.

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

Honestly, dont believe everything you read on the internet. Do some research and cross reference. Also think logically, do you really think a company like natures way would allow for a toxic dose of their supplements?

[@lord_9923]

Is it safe to use it with an antidepressant pills ?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Sorry, we don'' recommend it with similar medications such as antidepressants

[@lisaadams8004]

What If it doesn't do anything? I took it 2 tablets of it in these herbal tablets and they didn't do anything and I still fell asleep at 4am when I took them at 11pm. My insomnia doesn't get effected by meds and I'm unsure of using melatonin due to it giving me night terrors

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Lisa The volatile oils in the valerian are what can help with sleep but if you dry the herb to make tablets, the oils can evaporate making it less effective. A liquid valerian tincture often works better

[@claricestarling6510]

Valarian root in hot water I find effective, the tablets have a lot of fillers in them

[@haithamalhawamdeh3134]

Try Neuroptimal sessions

[@getwell587]

Perhaps it should be taken earlier to properly work its way through the system?

[@dontmineme]

I would take it every other day around 8 Lay in bed in the dark or put on a show u don’t mind falling asleep to. DO NOT get on your phone and start scrolling lol. Try and relax. If you pray, then close your eyes pray… never know, good luck! I can’t imagine falling asleep at 4. I’ve had those days maybe 3 times. HORRIBLE! I’m sorry

[@lemonkid2543]

What do you recommend for social anxiety overthinking

[@AvogelCoUk]

You may find the Emotional Essence helpful. This comes in a little bottle which you can carry with you and just put a few drops on the tongue if you feel the anxiety coming on www.avogel.co.uk/jan-de-vries/bach-flower-remedies/emotional-essence/

[@Anonymous-ur6dl]

Valerian no for me kept me awake all night long 😮

[@AvogelCoUk]

Yes, this can happen to a very small number of people

[@pierrelabounty9917]

Yes. Has different effect with you. Works good for me for sleep at night. Works quick.

[@ftsumnerwitchdoctor]

valerian will in fact make you groggy the next morning. working closely with valerian i have found myself overwhelmed with fatigue one night after a moderately spiced hot coco i had. not heavily laden with valerian itself but i had been experimenting with it heavily for a few weeks prior. dont take too much valerian on a weekly basis. heart to heart signed someone who takes way too much valerian. i got sleepytime remedies hmu

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

Thats exactly your issue then. You took too much. Valerian is supposed to aid in sleeping not put you cold. Shes says it doesnt make you feel groggy bc at a normal dose it doesnt. I’m on Swiss Vitamins Sleep which has 1.3g Valerian. I normally have troubles staying asleep, tossing and turning or waking up fatigued. Using this, and cutting out caffeine, has helped me to get more quality sleep. Even if ive only had 6 hours it felt like so much more.

[@josephpchajek2685]

@@inhaledexhaled5460 It doesn't mean he took too much, everybody is different and herbs react differently depending on the person, context and situation/circumstance.

[@simonbelmont1986]

I never dream unless I have valerian root capsules every 3 or 4 days at a time. If I take them too frequently I get headaches.

[@getwell587]

What time do you take it before going to sleep?

[@petermcloughlin6927]

Thanks Kate! Yes it does work. 👍 Like really works!

[@AvogelCoUk]

Fantastic, Pedro!

[@YTcanLetUsDown]

Anything is addictive... Psychologically at least.

[@AvogelCoUk]

In the scientific research and in clinical practice of medical herbalists, Valerian has not been found to be physiologically addictive, which is an important distinction between many pharmaceuticals for sleep which can be highly addictive, physiologically.

[@WooshMagoosh]

​@@AvogelCoUk cope

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

You cant create a chemical dependency on it though. Just bc you may have mental issues and love what it does for you and therefore choose to take it more, doesnt mean its the drug making that decision for you.

[@pierrelabounty9917]

Even water during sunstroke. You want it. But then your getting sicker and sicker.

[@Richardsreviewsandratings117]

Hi,it is also better for my high blood pressure than the atenelol that my doctor prescribed for me,valerian is truly great

[@AvogelCoUk]

that's fantastic Richard!

[@indigobunting2431]

Smells like catnip and did not help me sleep.

[@AvogelCoUk]

There are some people who find Valerian does not work for them but often I find Passiflora works well for these people. Have you tried Passiflora - here is a link if you would like to try. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/passiflora-complex/

[@Richardsreviewsandratings117]

If you have enough gaba it wont help you,but for people like me with little gaba it works great even lowers my high bp better than the bp pills my doctor prescribed for me,i sometimes combine gaba and valerian root,1 valerian root tablet in the morning and 1 gaba pill 1 hour or so before bed time.

[@Marco-wz5vo]

Thank you

[@AvogelCoUk]

You're welcome Marco

[@WorldYourz]

is it safe to take with melatonin?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Sorry, we don't recommend using both together.

[@walidoulondon8107]

Best supplement for deep sleep is valerian with rohdiola

[@AvogelCoUk]

Thank you for your suggestion

[@ingramr88]

Like the singer Kate Vogel? Or is this a different Kate? If this is the same Kate then……nice crossover….I see what you did there ;-)

[@AvogelCoUk]

This is our product trainer Kate Harris, not singer Kate Vogel :)

[@aliyoussef1485]

Thank you from Egypt ❤
