Honestly, I only recently, maybe within the last 5 or so years, even heard of it. A friend told me about it when I mentioned that I was having a difficult time sleeping due to stress from a very demanding job.
At any rate, you can order Valerian Root from Amazon, using theirherbs for insomnia treatment page.
Basically, it works like this:
1. you order the Valerian Root in capsule form
2. you take the Valerian near your bedtime, being sure you will absolutely NOT have to drive anywhere for 8 solid hours
3. wake up refreshed, feeling a lot more energetic and even a bit more hopeful because you know you'll be able to put your all into whatever you're doing.
It's really nice because basically, that's what happened to me. For more details, or to read more about my experience, please see my Using Herbs For Insomnia Page.
