For sleep, there is a combo of Valerian, passion flower, and hops

If there's a CVS pharmacy near you, in the Mexican homeopathic section back by the pharmacy, they have tea..I think it's called five flowers cingo flores. or something like that which has those things, plus probably chamomile, and catnip in it. In Mexico, Passion Flower is used for opiate detox.

I used to do skullcap, valerian, vervain, and catnip back when I was in high school for cramps. My Mom thought I was drugged up on some heavy duty illicit drugs when I'd fix up a cup of my homebrew tea. It was very effective, but you had to drink it about every four hours, unlike RX drugs.

Wowza! that is heavy duty. Screw that up, and you wake up with angels.

My last wife... I think that was #3, was something of a herbalist. I learned to be careful.

Very interesting. I don’t have a CVS. I used to drink coffee all day long, but now I just drink it in the am, and drink two or three cups of herbal tea, so I might just look on line for a source.

None of our grocery stores or Walmart have much in the way of tea, supplements, or alternative foods. Our county is 97% white. At least we have access to some good fresh produce, and we have processing plants where we can buy a side of beef or pork etc.
