Hi Everyone
I am wondering the same thing, and can it be purchased as a herb, or just in beer, cuz we don't drink beer. Even if I liked it I can't drink it cuz of being a school bus driver, they kinda' frown and that sort of thing! (narrow minded aren't they)

Geez, they let airline pilots drink beer as long as they are not within 12 hours of a scheduled flight!
You can buy hops as tea at the health food store.

Thanks Fawn for the info. I start work at 6:00a.m. and get home @ 5:00, you know breaks bewtween runs, so that leaves an hour to drink beer...but I don't like the stuff.
Really appreciate all your vast information. You are a real asset to this board. What would we do without you!

Mansi,
Hops are a plant - like an herb. People make beer out of them. They also make tea out of them. They are known for their relaxing effect, and are estrogenic as well. I have found them in BE products (Miracle Breast, and I think they were in Isis and Erdic) and have bought them at the healfh food store in the 'loose tea' section.
Do a search on google and you'll find out more.

Just wanted to add that I used to buy my Hops in liquid extract form from Nature's Answer. I would squirt a dropper full in my mouth before bed and it helped me sleep great (didn't taste too good though). I just found the liquid extract easier to take. I stopped taking it when I switched to BO because I didn't know if it would interfere with the BO or not.
