Herb Pharm - Valerian Extract 4 Fl. Oz. 64256

Very useful for relaxation, calming frayed nerves, and gently inducing sleep - I've tried various different brands of dried Valerian capsules/tablets in the past and never felt much of an effect from any of them, but this tincture is most definitely "active." Really nice to have this on hand as a relaxation aid/stress reliever and sleep aid. The capsules also had that characteristic funky odor, and I have to say that while this product definitely has a strong and unmistakable taste and smell to it, the flavor sort of borders on sweet... funky sweet, I guess. But I find it a lot more palatable than the scent that hits you when you open up a jar of valerian capsules. I've always found HerbPharm's products in general to be of high quality, and this one is no exception. Will definitely be ordering again as I am just about out of my current bottle. I'm not a doctor but one thing I'd mention as well as just a little tip from user to user - start out with a small dose and see how it affects you, then gradually increase until you get to know this substance and how it will affect your body. For just general "cup of tea" level relaxation enhancing effects, I take a very small dose; when I'm stressed out or upset about something and want a gentle herbal product to kind of take the edge off, I basically double that small dose; if I'm trying to get to sleep and having a hard time doing so, I take 3x the small dose, maybe 4-5x at times, but really never higher than that or else I feel groggy and foggy upon waking up and it persists for first half of my day. Hope this review helps people get an idea of what to expect from this product - peace

Works great my wife has had insomnia as long as I can remember. She takes it every night. And has been able to sleep for the first time I can remember.

Picked this up while searching for a more organic solution to relieve stress and anxiety as I've had terrible experiences with anything doctor prescribed. Taste and smell is a little bitter, but that's not what I bought it for. Only taking it at night but works great for putting you in a relaxed and positive frame of mind without your spouse looking at you like you joined a hippy cult.

I love this tincture which uses an Alcohol tincture and no glycerin. I can not stand tinctures with glycerin and I will only buy alcohol only tinctures. Please bring us more tinctures with alcohol only Herb Pharm.

Having problems trying to relax! This is the product for you! Has become part of a nightly routine, mix in a few drops with my sleepy time tea and I’m out like a light in 30mins or less
