I've tried both these, although I tried the Valerian root as a sleeping aid. THe valerian root put me to sleep one time, and didn't help the next time I tried it. The kava kava helps if I'm only mildly anxious, it will relax me. If I'm really upset or anxious, it doesn't touch anything. I don't know how well they'd work as muscle relaxants. Just my experience.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 thanks Darcy.. I don't know either but I hope something will work.. .. I'm one of those people that stays completely tense all the time.. the last chiro I saw kept trying to get me to relax one day.. when I said I had.. he told me if I really had my head would have fallen into his other hand... lol.. three weeks of every other day adjustments and he had less than a 30% sucess rating with my neck movements.. this wasn't because he was bad at what he was doing.. but just that I was that locked up.. I hate that feeling.. ::hugs:: Serena ===== Believe more deeply. Hold your face up to the light, even though for the moment you do not see.

THis is why I have to go to a chiropractor, I just tense up so much, I pull my own self out of alignment. I'm slowly doing better and trying to learn to relax. It isn't easy, but I'm trying.
