Re: valerian for insomnia

Valerian is just the supplement. In addition to using Valerian, you should try to exercise regulary, eat the healthy food, and taking multi-vitamines. Please do not take valerian regulary but only twice a week instead. I used to take Valerian pills before and it only work if don't take it everyday. If you take it everyday, your body will get used to this drug.
You can also try to watch some soft music videos at night; it helps your body to calm down. In addition to that, you should get rid of your personal issues before you go to bed. Try to allow yourself to relax for about 2 hours before your bedtime.
Take care..

Re: valerian for insomnia

Sorry, i was trying to mention about MELATONIN, not valerian in my previous email. Melatonin works much better than valerian. You should try to take melatonin about twice a week, do not take it regulary.

Re: valerian for insomnia

I would try both valerian and melatonin but neither helped me, so they dont work for everyone
make sure you get good quality products, there are said to be poor quality ones around
