Valerian has uses in herbal medicine as a sedative. It has in the past been recommended for epilepsy but that has not been supported by modern research. The main current use of valerian is as a remedy for insomnia, with a recent meta-analysis providing some evidence of effectiveness. Large doses are known to cause withdrawal symptoms when stopped, as it is mildly addictive[verification needed]. Those with liver disease are advised not to use valerian. Valerian is the source of valeric acid.
