Herb Lore's valerian root tincture supports relaxation, calmness, ease & restful sleep. It's a natural herbal liquid sleep aid for adults and kids that works!
4 ounce bottle contains 168 droppersfull. (Approximately 5000 drops for children's dosing)
NOTE: In a tiny percentage of people, valerian root drops can stimulate rather than relax. If OTC cold medicine stimulates you instead of sedating you, Valerian Root may do the same. Skullcap would be a better natural sleep aid for you.

Valerian root works more quickly if you put it directly under your tongue. If necessary, you can dilute the valerian root extract tincture in a small amount of water or juice. It may be flavored with lemon or honey to disguise the taste. Avoiding any liquids or foods for at least 15 minutes afterward provides the best results.
