Valerian Root Side Effects

There are some side effects noted with excessive or chronic use of valerian that you should be aware of. Though these side effects are not a concern with occasional use.

• Night Terrors
• Increased Depression
• Headache
• Stomach Ache

The night terrors are what scare me the most, so use caution and don't over do it. A standard doseage if using capsules or a cup of valerian tea before bed (30 minutes) is usually enough to do the trick.

Also, valerian should be used to try to break the cycle of sleeplessness, or reduce anxiety and depression. Once you have the desired results, take a break. Do not use on a regular basis is our recommendation. There are some that say no harm in continued useage, but I have found that my body adapts, and I don't get the same calming and tranquil effects if I continue to drink valerian tea without taking a break.
