I like Valarian for anxiety, but I don't know not much of a fan of capsule herbs...since I find them to be more questionable than tinctures or herb itself in herb form. So yeah I take it in tincture form or I make tea with it by simmerring the valarian root and maybe throwing in some other herbs to compliment the effects and make it taste better. Made some last night which was good because I started getting pretty anxious and it kept the physical anxiety symptoms to a minimum and allowed me to sleep in spite of it.

It was very strong valarian tea though.

I know valarian can be as effective as benzos for reducing anxiety symptoms but without some of the bad side effects or addictive qualities. Though not so sure if its impossible to build tolerance or become Dependant(though I doubt withdrawls or anything would occur without it like they can with stuff like klonopin).
