Frequently Asked Questions

What is valerian root used for?

Valerian root is traditionally used to help support relaxation and may assist in promoting restful sleep. Many people also use valerian for emotional balance and to support the nervous system during times of stress.

Does valerian root help with sleep?

Valerian root and sleep support often go hand-in-hand. Valerian is known for its calming properties and may be especially helpful in winding down before bed. Unlike some sleep aids, it typically doesn’t cause grogginess upon waking.

What are the side effects of valerian root?

Valerian root is generally well tolerated. For most, it offers a calming, sleep-supportive effect. In rare cases, some people may find it has the opposite effect and feels more stimulating than soothing. If you’ve experienced that with other valerian products, you may respond similarly to this one.

How do I take valerian tincture?

Adults can take 1–2 dropperfuls as needed. It can be used directly or mixed with a bit of warm water to make a quick valerian root tea. For children, use the age-appropriate dose from the Children’s Dosage Guide in the Suggest Use section above. The non-alcohol version is recommended for little ones.

Is this valerian root extract alcohol-free?

Yes. This is an alcohol-free valerian root extract, making it ideal for those avoiding alcohol, including children, pregnant or nursing mothers, and sensitive individuals.

Clinical Research

Evidence-backed support you can trust

Valerian root has been studied for its potential to support sleep and relaxation. A 2020 study published in Explore found that valerian may help improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety symptoms, especially in individuals navigating stress-related sleep issues (Liu et al., 2020). More recently, a 2023 systematic review concluded that valerian appears to offer meaningful support for sleep, particularly in improving sleep latency (how quickly you fall asleep), with a strong safety profile and low risk of adverse effects (Vollmer et al., 2023).

While individual results vary, these studies reflect what many people have experienced with this gentle, time-honored herb. As always, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider to see what’s right for your body.
