Do you take valerian root?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have been using valerian root for going on 5 or 6 years now. I started off getting it from walmart. Now I order organic ground valerian and pill it up myself. I take it for anxiety. Sometimes I take it for mild pain instead of ibuprofen or something. Do any of you take valerian? What are the symptoms you take it for? How do you take it, pill, tea, tincture? How much do you take? I want to hear all of your experiences.

I don't take it. My mom does however. It is a herbal remedy for calming and healing depression. She said it really has made her feel better and the only downside is the fact that it smells REALLY BAD! She takes the pill caplets.

I use it as one of the only natural remedies strong enough to combat my insomnia, I get in tea bags or as a liquid to put in water. I notice the tea bags seem slimey when I take them out the cup but that doesn't bother me. Apparently it's the root you use, and as soon as you know what the plant looks like you see it everywhere (you do in England anyway).

i've never seen it before. i need to order some more. the stuff i been taking is cheap from walmart and is whole herb instead of just the root. kinda makes me mad but to order some is a lot more money so i just deal till i can save for the really good organic root only stuff. i have never seen what it lookes like. if i saw it everywhere i think i would try to harvest some. wonder if i can grow it here?

thanks for your response! have a great day!

It grows in Europe and the Mediterranean apparently, you get it growing out of walls and everywhere here. I'll attach a picture to this comment, I'm sure you could get the seeds online if you searched.

thank you. its so pretty. i wish i had a place to grow it. my mom has a field behind her house that is not owned by her but they just let it grow wild in the summer. i wonder if we could plant some out there. i'll have to be giving a place to plant some a lot of thought.

Hi lovinlifemindless,

I don't take valerian root. However, I do take ginseng to boost my energy level. I've been wondering about natural healing herbs so this is a great topic!

i've been thinking of drinking more green tea instead of coffee in the morning to get going. i have taken ginseng before and my body just doesnt need that much energy...lol made me feel all cracked out. way more than coffee.
