Hello Brian:

I have used valarian on occassion and have never experienced higher blood pressure.

If I were you though, I would start off with something very mild. My Grandmothers used the wild chamomile plant up here in Alaska extensively. I myself drink the tea. It is very calming. I have the german chamomile growing wild in my garden.

Start off with the teas half an hour before bedtime, if that does not do the trick then a bath with chamomile tincture.
