Benefits of Valerian (Cont.)

Valerian Use in Children

It is not known if valerian is safe for use in children, although it has been used safely in short-term studies involving children. As with many medications or supplements, children may be more sensitive to the effects and toxicities of the supplement. Check with your child's healthcare provider before giving your child valerian for any purpose.
