Valerian Effectiveness as a sleep aid

Valerian is an herbal medication that is used to alleviate anxiety. It helps to dissipate tension from muscles and calm your body and mind down so that sleep is possible. I find Valerian to be a helpful product that is reasonably priced. I have been using Valerian for at least the last 4 or 5 years and feel that it has helped my insomnia by about 50%. Valerian is reasonably priced and is available at drugstores and majorretailers such as Target and Walmart. I'm now using the CVS brand and was able to get two bottles for the 5.99 price. Frequent sales such as this helps to make Valerian cost even less, In short, this is an effective aid for insomnia at a reasonable price. I have tried other brands of Valerian fromother stores and have found them all effective.

Update On Apr 14, 2008: I have found Valerian to continue to be helpful as a sleep aid and am now using the Spring Valley brand.
