RECOMMENDED READING

Valerian

Valerian is also known as ‘All Heal.’ It is one of nature’s gentlest, non-toxic, non-addictive tranquillisers.

It has a favourable effect on the central nervous system, acting as a natural relaxant or sedative.

It has been compared to Valium – or Diazepam – in its effects, although it is far gentler in its action, and has little in the way of side-effects or a ‘hangover’ effect.

It may be used to successfully wean people off diazepam or other chemical tranquillisers.

It also has other beneficial effects on high blood pressure, headaches and migraines, bronchial spasm, and may be of benefit in menopause. This is in addition to its benefits in sleeping problems, anxiety and other similar problems. It is safe in children.

Recommended Dosage

15 drops twice or three times daily.

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Cautions / Adverse Reactions

Valerian is well tolerated at the recommended dosage. Large doses may cause giddiness and mental confusion.

There are no known contra-indications to Valerian at the normal dosage.
