In reply to any valerian/valium link?, posted by laima on September 22, 2006, at 20:27:19
No it's a total coincidence. There is no connection between Valerian and Valium.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerian_%28plant%29
"As valerian has a calming affect on people it might be thought that Valium contains or is derived from valerian. However, Valium has nothing to do with valerian and the names are only coincidental"
Valium has a much more powerful effect than Valerian as an anxiolytic.
