Background and Use

Use of Valerian has been reported for more than 2000 years, Valerian became popular here and Europe in the mid-1800s until it was replaced by pharmaceutical compounds such as barbiturates. Presently, it is included in the World Health Organizations Herbal Monographs and the German Comission E Monographs.

Passionflower has traditionally been used by Native South Americans. It was brought to Europe in the 16th Century by Spanish explorers from Peru.

Skullcap is native to both North America and Europe, the historical use of skullcap is documented in the British Herbal Pharmacopeia (BHP) and in the Eclectic manuals. It is commonly combined with valerian in European over-the-counter (OTC) medications. NOTE: Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) should not be confused with Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria barbata), which has quite different biological activity.

The traditional use of Hops in the West probably arose from the observation that Hop-pickers tire easily. This herb is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
