Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Hi Lynn, > > Is valerian root scd legal? What form is it in? Is it a homeopathic treatment? Homeopathic tinctures with alcohol, like echinacea are okay. While checking I found this about Valerian root: Valerian Root Valeriana officinalis Valerian root is a strong herbal nervine. It has been used as a calmative, sedative and antispasmodic with problems such as anxiety, nervousness, hysteria, cramping and convulsions. It helps bring on sleep when there is no stimulus such as itching. Valerian is also a pain reliever and has helped nervous headaches. Valerian works best where the nervous user is " cold. " Otherwise it can have the opposite effect intended. Hops should be used if the user if " hot " , red- faced, excited or has a fast pulse. Valerian smells like old socks and long term use in large doses can result in melancholy and depression. Sheila Quote
