Valerian Root
Valerian Root

What herbal supplement is better for anxiety, Kava Kava or Valerian Root?
Also, what are the side effects of each and will either one mess with my birth control pill? Finally, do these supplements really help with anxiety?
Kava is more directly for anxiety, but a good part of that is because Valerian is more for relaxation and sleep than anxiety specifically.
As far as birth control, part of that would depend on the drug, so I would recommend asking a pharmacist or a doctor. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not.... anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know)
Good luck!
