An Australian double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial compared the effects of valerian root (1000 mg or 500 mg), the drug Triazolan, and a placebo. Results confirmed that while Triazolan had detrimental effects on cognitive processes, the valerian did not. “Unlike the benzodiazepine drugs, valerian clearly does not cause sedation or impairment of functioning in healthy volunteers. This could be attributed to valerian having no activity on the nervous system.” ⁷
