Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The site I listed has a ton of herbal/non-drug ways of combating insomnia, from lettuce to thiamine. It also lists changes in your diet that will help you to fall asleep easier/faster.
I've never heard of valerian being addictive, so do some research if you're interested in trying it just to be safe...The second site I listed warns of kava "...disturbing toxicity concerns...", while valerian "...showed moderate evidence for both safety and efficacy..."
Hope this all helps! Sweet dreams!!

Valerian is a muscle relaxant, & so are calcium/magnesium tabs.
Be warned; valerian has a strong smell to it.

Valerian in health food stores is Valium in medications. Be very careful, as it is addictive.

Kava Kava... I get it in the liquid form and put it in my tea... google it... It works for me...

If you are feeling real stressed mentally, then you need something that really works. I have heard of Memo Plus Gold; it orks for young and old. Visit this website, www.sindor.com for more information.

I prefer to go the natural way and that is to drink a cup of warm chamomile tea and take a nice long warm bath.
