Hops
Hops have been used for well over 1,000 years to brew beer,
but it has also been used since medieval times to produce medicine.
The flavonoid found in hops is classified as a phytoestrogen
(a plant-based compound that mimics the activity of the female hormone
estrogen). It is believed by some that such flavonoids can help increase
estrogenic activity in the body, overcoming symptoms of estrogen deficiency.
Since estrogen levels are known to drop during menopause,
hops may help alleviate the hot flashes and night sweats that typically
accompany the condition.
According to a 2010 study from Finland, menopausal women
provided an eight-week course of a hops extract experienced a reduction of hot
flashes, night sweats, and even low libido compared to those provided a
placebo.
Cardiovascular Disease
There is a compound in Hops that helps relax blood vessels and improve
blood circulation. Hops can therefore, provide relief for hardening of
the arteries, a condition where there is an accumulation of plaque inside an artery
can lead to a heart attack or stroke
Valerian
Valerian is derived from the personal name “Valeria” and the
Latin verb “valere” (to be strong, healthy).
Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least
the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Hippocrates described its properties, and
later prescribed it as a remedy for insomnia.
Valerian root is a safe and natural way to help with one of
the most annoying and common health problems — poor sleep. With minor and rare
side effects, it can really trump prescription sleep aids when it comes to its
overall effect on your health.
Many prescription sleep aids leave you feeling groggy the
following morning, not to mention all the other scary and more serious risks on
those long labels. Valerian root works with your body’s chemistry to help get
your nightly rest back on track.
In addition,
valerian root offers relief for many other common health concerns through its
natural sedative abilities. It’s helped many people with:
