Description:  Uses: Valerian has been used for the treatment of restlessness and sleep disorders. Valerian is classified as GRAS in the US for food use. Interactions: For potential interactions, refer to the "Potential Herb-Drug Interactions" appendix.

Dosing: Valerian root (fresh or dried) has been used at doses of 2 to 3 g given 1 to 3 times/day for nervousness or as an antispasmodic, and at bedtime for insomnia. Several types of extracts have been tested; an aqueous extract has shown activity in sleep studies at doses of 270 to 900 mg, while an ethanolic extract has been recommended at 600 mg for sleep. Combinations with extracts of hops (eg, ReDormin, Ze 91019)or with lemon balm (EuVegal Forte) are quite common as sleep aids and the valerian extract dose in combinations is 320 to 500 mg. Lipophilic extracts such as Baldrian-Disperthave fallen out of favor because of toxicity concerns and the failure to identify active principles in them.
