Does Valerian Root work?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Yes,Valerian root works,but it doesn't make you drowsy like you want from Ambien. I suggest finding that med that has Valerian Root,Tryptophan and Melatonin in it,or buy all three and combine them yourself. But nothing is going to be as effective as Prescription sleeping pills. Good Luck.

Real Life Experience

Yes, it does, but if you're on something like ambien for that long, it won't really do much.

I would get tincture only and mix it with tinctures of kava, skullcap, and maybe a melatonin supplement. If you're very insomniac, though, it probably will not work.
