Passiflora incarnata has been used for centuries as an aid to sleep. It was used by the Aztecs as a sedative and analgesic. Studies have demonstrated its use as a sedative and mild analgesic. The beneficial effects stem from the flavonoid and harman alkaloid content. This plant is actually one of the oldest known plants used for preparing teas, tonics, beverages, and poultices.
Hops have incredible holistic value.
They have tonic, nervine, diuretic and anodiyne properties. Their volatile oil produces sedative and soporific effects and the bitter principle is stomachic and tonic. For this reason, hops can improve the appetite and help promote sleep. Hop juice also cleanses the blood and has comparable benefits with Sarsaparilla Skullcap- Skullcap was first brought to the attention of physicians in the West in 1772 as a cure for rabies. Over the next hundred years, herbalists used skullcap as a digestive aid and tranquilizer.
