Hey ToP, When powdered, Valerian looks just as you described. Normally, the root is coarsely ground and resembles gravel( that's the form I always use) It is indeed used for relaxation but I use it in coffee and after eating chocolate to balance and counteract the effects of the caffeine in both. I also found it helpful when quitting marijuana. It also helps when I have aches and pains as well as killing parasites ( I walk barefoot outside a lot). It does take some getting used to and herbs sometimes take as long or even a little longer to see results since you are dealing with nature and not good old fashioned lab poisions like your usual meds and chemical sedatives. But if you decide not to continue taking it I can guarantee you won't suffer any adverse side affects. Thanks for the offer to help me find some additional employment. I've put in some applications for overnight stocking/part-time since I have a business providing hand-made hair accessories to local salons and am pursuing my degree in Fashion Design ( In fact, when I finish here I have a phone conference with my professor of Fashion History) I want a low key benign form of employment right now. I am a former teacher with a graduate degree and I am retired at 48yrs of age. I am in no way interested in teaching anyone anything, I'll share knowledge, but I won't teach. I am finally becoming the artist I have always wanted to be and art requires creative time. My career was a huge factor in the development of my depressive symptoms. I am a pleaser and a perfectionist, my career choice was not my own and when I poured my heart and soul into it, it f'd me up big time. I'm broke but happy and I know more about myself than I ever have and this is the best I have ever managed my illness since my first few years of college. I just need some change for supplies with which to build inventory and to purchase some Clarocet and take care of my kitty cats. Don't be surprised if I tell you I'm stocking shelves at Wal Mart or a grocers. I'll let you know when I switch threads "fersure". Gotta go talk to my professor, I'll be in touch! Life
