Valerian drops... Any reviews please

[Lovelyboys]

Hi,
Read over the Internet that valerian drops helps restful sleeping, has anyone used it for dc?
Thanks

have heard of valerian root for adults (yes it does work). Assume the drops are a milder version?

It says it's valerian root extract(1:1) 1000mg, I have no idea what it means, which is I am confused if I should try on my DS1 who is just 2.8 year old

Not used it on the dcs, but it works a treat on my dogs. Couldn't live without the stuff around bonfire night!

Seriously though, I believe valerian is a common component in lots of those herbal sleeping pills like Kalms, but they aren't recommended for children.

Vogel do valerian and hops but again, not recommended for under 18s.

I did find the following quote: "The World Health Organization contraindicates the use of valerian in children under 12 years of age without medical supervision" on this site and more information on this one.

Lovelyboys-have you tried melatonin? (sorry not been on here for a while so apologies if you have)

Yes he has melatonin every night to help him sleep quicker but does not help him sleep longer

is there such a thing as slow release melatonin?

Have heard of it but it comes mostly in tablet/capsules
