what the evidence says
Valerian has more human trials than most herbal sleep aids, but the results are inconsistent: some report modestly better subjective sleep, many find no difference from placebo, and quality varies a lot between preparations. Reviews of the evidence generally land on 'possibly a small effect, not reliably shown'. Low risk, low certainty.
Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
