Yes: But the valerian root is worthless and a waste of your money. Who knows what harm it could to to you? Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

A 25-year-old female asked:
Will there be harm with taking melatonin together with valerian root?

No harm: Those two can provide complementary since valerian root is a mild herbal tranquilizer and melatonin can help fall asleep. There are no negative interactions between these two.
