Warnings & Precautions
Never use any herbs without first consulting a medical practitioner. Herbs can react with man made and other medical ailments.
Valerian is generally considered safe, but it doesn’t agree with everyone. For some people it can be stimulating and irritating, the exact opposite of what one would expect.
Avoid taking large doses of valerian for extended periods of time. Instead, take modest doses for 2 to 3 weeks and then break for a week before taking again. Happily it is nonaddictive and won’t leave you feeling too sleepy. If your muscles start feeling rubbery, that’s a sign that you’re taking too high of a dose. Just back it off a little bit and you’ll be fine.
Caution is advised during the use of barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and other sedative drugs, as valerian has the potential to increase the effects of some sedatives.
