Sundown Naturals Valerian Root is a really good alternative to sleeping pills, or other drugs, that you might get for anxiety. I was first introduced to it many years ago when my stomach was in knots, and I was really nervous, about an upcoming situation. I was way too nervous to go home and sleep. A friend of mine told me about Valerian, I bought a bottle of Sundown Naturals Valerian Root. When I got home, I took two capsules. The affect was amazing! It calmed me down completely. This was just what I needed in order to relax enough to try to go to sleep. Unfortunately, Valerian root has a disgusting taste, and a pungent odor, but the way that it helps you to relax, and calm your nerves, makes the smell and flavor, worth it. It's safe to use regularly, though I have found that it works more effectively, when I use it, if I alternate it with other herbs. It seems to lose its effectiveness when it's taken more often.

I had researched into herbs that were naturally relaxing and calming when I was having a lot of stress at the time. I decided after much research that I would try some Valerian Root capsules to see if it could cure what ailed me. It actually worked quite well! It had a very subtle, almost unnoticeable affect on me that I did not notice for awhile. I stopped and I thought "Wow, I have almost no stress right now, awesome!" A bonus with Valerian Root is that from my research it is not possible to overdose on this herb so if you accidentally take an extra pill it will not hurt you. (DO NOT PURPOSELY TAKE MORE THOUGH!) It does however have an absolute putrid smell that has an odd affect where it seems to seep through your pores. It may have been just in my nose but it seemed like I was smelling that foul valerian root smell everywhere! Oh well I suppose because it WORKED! This is a decent product that I do recommend for very mild anxiety relief.

I have used Sundown Naturals Valerian Root capsules to help me fall asleep at night and I believe that they work well for me. It is a natural sleep aid that promotes relaxation and a healthy nights rest without feeling groggy in the morning. It is relatively inexpensive and works better for me than other over the counter sleeping pills. Try it!

I was kind of skeptical at first, as I'm not really a health nut. However, after trying everything I could think of, a friend recommended Valerian root to help with my constant sleep concerns. Then, I opened the bottle and was met with quite a pungent odor. I decided the promised sleep was more important than bad smelling pills, so I gave it a try. I did however wash down the 2 pills with a large glass of milk and washed my hands, I settled in for another sleepless night. However, I noticed a gentle sleepiness that soon turned into a restful night of sleep. I do want to insert that you do have to do your part by turning off the computer, the television, the ipad and get comfortable. I didn't wake up groggy or foggy headed either. The only reason I didn't rate the product as a 5 is due to the strong odor, but it really helps me get a good night's rest! This product has helped get my sleep schedule back to "normal"!
