I personally prefer the natural version, but everyone is different.

I can’t take Valerian because I have had liver disease, but with any supplement like that I try both the whole herb (if offered) and the extract (if available) to see which works best for me.  I’ve learned to listen to my body and do what is best for me individually.  During the deep stages of our guided hypnosis (such as Overcoming Pain or Peak Performance) try asking you body what it wants and needs….see if you gain more awareness.

Consider Everyday Stress Relief, which contains Relora.  A lot of my patients find it very helpful.
