Valerian Root - Natural tranquilizer, pain, muscle spasms, nerves, promotes sleep.
I run a natural health store and sell lots of it to repetitive customers. You may also try melatonin or kava kava.

Valerian has long been used for sleep disorders and anxiety.
Valerian has also been used for other conditions, such as headaches, depression, irregular heartbeat, and trembling.
