Aloha... as I have mentioned my relief in other threads I need to mention it again due to the calming effects I have gotten from this herb. In the hopes that it will help others too. I have suffered for over 20yrs and only some relief from Capzasin until I tried this. I take it at night and during the day as needed when my feet start screaming at me... Search it. It's a nerve calmative... Has anyone else tried this? I am so happy

What a timely post! Amazon just delivered some to my doorstep.

I decided to try it since I read it works on gaba receptors. So glad it's helping you!

Can I ask how much you take?

fantastic... at first I took one cap, breakfast lunch and bedtime...did that for about a week or so ... now I take one at bedtime and one in the am before I start my day... and then again as need for pain. I sure do hope it works well for you too. I swear the first cap I took in the am I felt the calm in about 15min As my system built up.. I needed it less. I am a hard working CNA caring for the needs of others worse off then me and I wouldn't let my feet stop me but started to feel worse and worse as I aged. Now I can get up and go good luck and there is hope. keep us posted..... Aloha

Ok, thanks. I think I'll start with 500 mg before bed tonight. I found this online, but haven't sought out the research report itself.

"Even more impressive results emerged from a well-designed 1996 trial involving 121 insomnia sufferers. Among the benefits of valerian root extract taken one hour before bedtime (2 tablets of 300 mg each): significantly improved sleep quality, dream recall, and sense of psychological well-being."

Mahalo.

That's originally what I took it for... for years and then I found on a search that tied it to PN, and other nerve issues. It does calm the nerves. It is easy to find at any health food store.

This is very interesting. I would love to give this a try.

Does anyone know if this is counter-indicated for other medications/herbal remedies? Are there any side effects of which one needs to be mindful?
