Valarian root is natural form of Valium. It is said that the people who had liver problems while taking Kava had liver problems to begin with. Or were taking way too much of the product. From what I have heard and read, if your liver is in good condition, and you take Kava responsably, it is okay. over the years i have heard this from two herbalists who I do trust. I am careful about taking it. But I have taken it ( under the direction of a good herbalist ) with no adverse results.
