Is it possible to get a liquid common Valerian in Thailand?

It is needed to be applied on the skin against itching.

I've checked several pharmacies & drugstores, unfortunately, without success.

The Valerian I know is like the previous reply, a sort of herbal sleeping tablet which didn't work for me at all.

Maybe you mean Laver lotion?

A 30ml bottle is 25-30 baht I believe. There are other very similar lotions with different brand names available but Laver works for me.

I've got a bottle and the box says it contains Triamcinone acetonide and is distributed by NEO Pharm tel. 0-2905-0951-6

Not every pharmacy sells this brand but my bottle was bought about 6 months ago so it should be still available so keep asking. Can't remember where I got it last but it was a small pharmacy, not a Boots or Watson.

Valerian's seductive effects when taken as pills are renowned.

My mother (she is an old lady now, and not staying in Thailand) asked me for a liquid variety to apply on the skin. I believe she have used it before and it helped her.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

I would suggest Alladryl ointment or creme.

Calamine lotion and dyphenhydramine (bennadryl) used topically for itching and soothing inflamation.

I think you meant sedative... unless Valerian has a whole other set of properties unknownst to me! :lol:

Anyhow no, AFAIK there are no liquid forms here, it is hard enough to find the capsules.

Yes, you're right Sheryl, sedative is the correct word.

I will try to find the alternatives you suggested here, but somehow, I afraid they will not live up to my mother's expectations. You know how the old people are...
