Thread: Valerian root

I have always had sleep problems so my Dad had given me a bottle of Valerian Root pills to help me sleep.

I havent tried them yet, mostly because they smell like absolute ass. :3 but since this post it has given me a reason to try them.

I will let you know. =]

yes it smells absolutely f****** disgusting XC

I found they smell like my socks after a hard day, but they didn't really taste of anything.

After gubbing about 100 450mg capsules at semi regular intervals, I couldn't honestly say whether they helped me sleep at night.

They might have actually hindered me getting to sleep by concentrating too much on the fact that I took something to help me sleep.

I took 3 (as instructed on bottle) last night.

It made me sleepy which is a very good thing.

I had a couple very vivid dreams last night. But I went to take a nap today and I had an AMAZING incredibly lucid dream. It had been a very long time.


Im gonna say that these little shits work! Ill admit I was skeptical. But Im going to take some more tonight and Ill tell if I experience the same results.


Does the tea smell as bad as the capsules? EGHHHH

If you make tea out of the capsules, it tastes and smells worse.

I ate like a gigantic dose once in a tea, no idea how I made it through the whole cup. Felt like drinking shit in hot water, look and smell.

Didn't do anything either except make me shake.

I was gonna make a post myself about valerian root intill I seen this. Last night I picked up a bottlle of valerian root caps. After goin to bed I had my first LD in about a month and I woke up afterwards. I laid there trying to go back to sleep and after a few minutes I did so consciously straight into another LD. This happened probably 5 times. Every time I woke up from the next dream I was able to visualize another dream and fall into it consciously very quickly too. I deffinently recommend trying it. Although I don't recommend it in tea form because it tastes like you made tea with a dirty sock

What is a good dose of Valerian root to take? I think I only have 100mg.

I'd say around 2000mg that's the highest recommended dose on my bottle but the LD50 is VERY high for valerian so feel free to take more you won't have a stronger effect but a higher dose lasts longer

Damn, well then 100mg is like nothing. I just noticed my 5-HTP pills have 50mg of Valerian in each. And I only have two left

well it definately influences me! i drank a cup before bed again and BAM my second LD! longer and vivder tan before...

heres my recipe :
make valerian tea, brew for 5 mins.
add a couple inches of orange squash...
the orange takes the bitter edge off

What if the oranges are bitter? lol, they are a lot of the time.
tbh I don't think Valerian is bitter, at all. It's just fucking horrible.

lol Motumz, I've got a few more up my sleeve.
