Description

Hops are the female flowers of the hop plant, best known for their use in brewing beer but also valued medicinally for their sedative and calming properties. They have been used in European herbal medicine since at least the 9th century. The sedative effects are attributed to the degradation products of alpha acids.

Valerian is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia, long valued for its sedative and anxiolytic properties. It has been used since ancient Greek and Roman times for insomnia and nervousness. The root is the primary medicinal part, known for its distinctive strong odor.
