It feels very much like the Valerian root I tried so long ago, but would only work for a week. (They both work on GABA.)
Other herbs kind of worked, but it was impossible to find a consistent strength.
It seems that herbal remedies are great in theory, but in practice western pharmaceuticals may be more useful.
