Tea

I have it because I have anxiety and I bought it for my car trip to go on vacation, but that’s just when I had anxiety about being stuck in the car. But lately I’ve been having trouble with school and stuff, and I was wondering if taking valerian Root capsules would help me at all.

Yes they will I know this from experience take 1-2 during the day and 1-2 at night. The good thing about these pills is that they’re 100% Whole Herb and they have no side-affects, they also make you feel relaxed and calm….

And how long will it take for the effects to kick in.

valerian is a mild sedative and relaxant a person eating that cake might feel more relaxed or drowsy but you should tell people when you put something unexpected into a dish in case the are allergic and the effect is gradual and differs from person to person

I’m taking the dianette for acne, not using it as a contraceptive. Random question and I’m not expecting anyone who isn’t a GP to be able to give me an answer.

There is no specific interaction.

Dianette is actually considered a poor choice for acne management. Have you tried oral and topical antibiotics for acne? Dianette has a poor safety profile as it has a much higher risk of DVT than other contraceptive pills. With other contraceptive pills the DVT risk is about 25/100,000/year. With Dianette it is about 50/100,000/year- the same DVT risk in pregnancy. In the UK Dianette is only prescribed to help with severe acne and hirsutism in women.

Many Doctors are reluctant to prescribe Dianette and the favoured contraceptive choice for acne management is now Yasmin (although Yasmin does not have a specific licence for acne management). Unfortunately some Doctors fail to explain the risks of Dianette to patients before prescribing. – I trust your Doctor has already explained the risks to you so you are aware?

The prescribing Physician must explain Dianette’s risks to the patient and the patients’ agreement must be noted on their medical file.

I have GAD is getting really bad..I was taking xanax but I’m out and I’m feeling super sick. I don’t want to become addicted, does valerian root work? And how long after taking it do u feel better?

Of course it does, its the main ingredient behind valium.

Lately I’ve been feeling really drousy and fatigued, I need something other than caffiene to stimulate my brain. My mind cannot handle any strenuous brain activity: not even reading.

Sounds like a blood test could help you get started on finding what you need. Factors like low blood sugar, low ferritin, and thyroid imbalances can all cause extreme fatigue. You may also be deficient in B-vitamins.

Some natural energy boosters are ginseng, as well as bee pollen, B-vitamin supplements or injections (you need a naturopath for this), licorice root, yerba mate, and fresh juices – try wheat grass, it’s very stimulating. You may also just need more sleep, but you didn’t mention your sleep patterns so I have no idea about that one. A diet consisting of plenty of whole foods should help you too. Best of luck

Even both of these remedies don’t make me having a deep sleep, at least I can sleep immediately when I frequent open my eyes.

Mixing prescriptions is not something you want to mess around with. Do not listen to people on yahoo answers, you need to ask your doctor personally. All you have to do is call your clinic and they will give you an answer promptly.

For a sleep aid and mood lifter. I took 100mg of 5-htp and 2 valarian root capsules. Will it help me at all tonight? How long does it usually take?

I’ve personally taken both at the same time and they work pretty fast. Usually 30 to 45 min’s for valerian root, you should sleep deeper than you have in ages. 5-htp increases melatonin and very well may cause you to have some pretty spectacular dreams, and also works in about 45 min’s. Try Kava Kava, this also helps as a sleep aid. Maybe you should cut down on caffeine and nicotine if you smoke or chew. It has been widely published that there is a direct correlation to amounts of caffeine and nicotine ingested and quality of sleep.

I need a sedative for my cat so I can trim her fur. I am not going to take her to the vet because she’s too old. I need a specific product name or direct link to a website if possible. I’ve gotten other suggestions but when I google I can’t find it. Thanks.

From my computer(im in holland) i automaticcaly go to google.nl instead of .com, even when i typ .com
i typed valerian treats in google and found dosens of pages with the treats your looking for and online stores to order them.
You didnt say where you live, so i could typ in loads of adresses, but you might want to try google.nl and just typ valerian treats

I have 25 grams. How much should I take? How should I take it?
It’s for insomnia.

How much you should take would depend on…

1) How potent is the herb. If it is old, or has been exposed to high heat, humidity, sunlight, it will not be as potent

2) How much your body needs to achieve the results you want. I gram may be enough for 1 person, while another person might need 5 or more grams

Prepare it as you would a tea, by placing the root in a cup, pouring boiling water over it, and letting it infuse for 20-30 minutes. Some people boil roots, but valerian root should not be boiled or else the volatile oils will dissipate. Start with 1 gram per cup of water, then gradually increase the dosage until you find what works for you.

Would mixing the two cause any bad reactions?

It will probably make you feel very drowsy and you should only have alcohol in mdoeration if you’re taking valerian but a single glass of wine is unlikely to hurt – so long as you don’t need to drive or operate machinery afterwards.
