I have chronic fatigue syndrome which for me includes extreme muscle pain and weakness. Valerian has been the only thing that works to reduce my pain allowing me to sleep deep without awaking up due to pain and last throughout the night and into the next morning. Allowing me to get up and get ready with minimal pain. I'd recommend this for sleep and pain 100 times over.
Hi Page, Thank you for the review! So glad the Valerian is helping you with pain and fatigue. Your feedback helps other customers connect with the best herbs for their needs so we appreciate you taking the time to share. Cheers!
