Alternative Aid for Restorative Sleep and Relaxation

Passion Flower, native to the U.S., was used by Native American Indians as well as 16th century Spaniards and others who colonized the New World. The Spaniards thought the flower to be a symbol of the crown of thorns placed on Christ's head during his crucifixion. Today, it is still widely relied upon by herbalists. It is rich in flavonoids and appears to have analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Passion Flower may be mildly sedative. It has been used as a poultice for wounds and an eyewash for infections. It is thought to exhibit antispasmodic effects as well as acting as a mild sedative and painkiller. 

Valerian is a familiar herb used since ancient times and well known in Europe. GABA is a chemical agent in the brain thought to increase anxiety. Valerian is thought to bind to the neurotransmitter receptor site for GABA, thus moderating feelings of anxiety and having a calming effect. It is widely used as a sedative for nerve disorders, relief from intestinal cramping, constipation and a remedy for coughs. It has a natural tranquilizing effect and may be used as a sleep aid. It is a good source of calcium and magnesium. "Magnesium is one of the best nutrients for sleep, particularly in people who wake up repeatedly throughout the night. In a landmark 1976 study, 99% of 200 people treated with magnesium showed positive responses, including reduced sleep latency, longer stretches of uninterrupted sleep, and sense of refreshment on arising in the morning. Magnesium is also helpful for people with night terrors and nocturnal motor automatisms, both of which are associated with magnesium deficiencies.." Holistic Primary Care, Spring 2005, pg 7-9

Skullcap (so called because of its shape resembling a military helmet the colonists were familiar with, but also called Mad-Dog Skullcap) is a Native American plant from the Southwest, TX and Plain states. It contains scutellarin, a flavonoid, which has used to calm and may relax the digestive tract. It maybe helpful for nervous disorders.

Hops (a vine named from an Anglo-Saxon word hoppan meaning to climb) is used as a relaxant and may reduce  irritation and anxious feelings. It may help calm the stomach and aid digestion. Hops are used to treat nervousness and promotes healthy sleep. "The German Commission E monograph mentions Hops for restlessness and anxiety, as well as disorders of sleep."
