Valerian is an herb that is commonly used in supplements and is claimed to help treat insomnia. Even though valerian is "natural," it does not mean that it is suitable for everyone. People who have epilepsy or liver disease should talk to their healthcare provider before using it. Also, check with your healthcare provider before using valerian if you are also taking other medications, including non-prescription medicines, vitamins, or other supplements.
