Valerian in KidCalm Was:Re: NaturalCalm vs. KidCalm

December 6, 2001

Valerian as valerian root is supposed to calm a nervous system.

I was told by our naturopath that Valerian root has a different

reaction on male and female. It does calm down females, but has no or

averse effect on males.

Just my 2 cents to the topic.

Hi,

Just saw the posting of valerian as an ingredient in KidCalm. Just wanted

you to know that in some children, and adults, Valerian can have the opposite

effect...acts like a stimulant rather than as a sleep aid. I gave it to my 12

year old daughter one evening and she was up until 3 a.m.! The herbalist at my

HFS said it also has this effect on her. Thought I'd pass this on in case anyone

was having problems with this product.
