Valerian is used as a sedative-hypnotic for insomnia and as an anxiolytic for restlessness and sleeping disorders associated with anxiety.
Directions: Adults: Take 2.4-4 ml (72-120 drops) 1-3x daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
If using Valerian primarily as a sleep aid, the full daily dose of 2.4-12 ml (72-360 drops) can be taken from 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Take an additional dose of 2.4-12 ml earlier in the evening if necessary.
Caution: Consumption with alcohol, other drugs or natural health products with sedative properties is not recommended. Exercise caution if operating heavy machinery or driving a motor vehicle within 2 hours of consumption. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a health care practitioner if sleeplessness persists continuously for more than 3 weeks (chronic insomnia) or if symptoms worsen or persist.
