GABA vs. Valerian Root

[wingnutlives]

You know, after taking valerian root consistantly for the last couple weeks, I think it actually works much better than GABA. Valerian seems to work exactly like Valium for me, but I also find it less sedating.

I also have been making a combination tea using valerian root and yerba mate. The mate contains some caffeine, but the valerian root keeps away the jittery/overstimulating effects of caffeine.

Kava is really great too, but I've heard that it can have bad effects on the liver, so I think I should use it less often.
