Valerian Root Use in Children

It is unknown if valerian root is safe for use in children, although the supplement has been used safely in short-term studies involving children. As with many medications or supplements, children may be more sensitive to the effects and toxicities of valerian root. Check with your child's healthcare provider before giving your child valerian root for any purpose.
