Valerian Root
for Insomnia
An herbal supplement with a long history of use for sleep. Evidence is mixed but many users report improved ability to fall asleep.
How it works
Valerenic acid may modulate GABA activity similarly to benzodiazepines, though the mechanism is not fully characterised.
What to watch for
Paradoxical stimulant effect in some users. Very strong smell. May potentiate sedative medications — consult a doctor if taking other sedatives.
