Thanks ladies. I am still up some through the night with my 3 month old and having a hard time falling back asleep and having anxiety at night only. I have taken it the past 3 nights and I think it is helping and helping me relax to fall asleep at a descent time instead of laying there thinking oh Paityn will be up soon why go to sleep now! Anyway tahnks again.

Valerian root is for reducing stress and relaxing the body for peaceful nights rest. It should not be used while pregnant, nor if you are breastfeeding. I would recommend using Melissa instead if you are looking for a relaxed but not drowsy state of mind. I have been selling both for over 3 years. Melissa is my personal favorite.

Hello Heather! I take Valerian root from time to time to help me sleep. It works fine. I have also taken it to help me relax when I was super stressed out last year over my master`s exam. Not sure if it helped the relaxation as I did not take it regularly and some of the things I read said you should, but it certainly did not hurt!

I took it to help me sleep better at night and it worked for me.

I take melatonin to sleep and am adding valerian root to it for anxiety and to relax at night but there both capsules is the drink better? I heard the valerian can be good for menstural cramps, migraines, IBS, nausea. I hope it helps with anxiety, cramps, and migraines! That would be nice

I have had it before, mixed with melatonin & b vitamins in a dink. Used to help relax & get a great nights sleep.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
