If you are prone to depression the best herbs for sedation are the trophorestoratives which include Avene officinalis (oatstraw), St John's Wort, Scuttelaria laterifolia (skullcap), Turnera Aphrodisica (Damiana), Verbena officialanus (vervain), Withania somniferum (ashwaganda), and Zizyphus spinosa. The idea is that valerian etc, like benzos may worsen depression. I like Withania and Zizyphus myself, also Lycium Barbarum (Goji). Naturally their effect is very mild.
