  schema:description "Valerian is a root sold to help sleep and calm nerves. In trials its effect on sleep was no better than a dummy pill, and a study in people with cancer found it did not improve sleep. It can cause drowsiness and has been linked to liver injury in case reports, so it should be stopped a week before surgery."@en ;
