TO USE: Take 300 to 600 mg of a hops supplement about 45 minutes before bedtime. Or look for blends that also contain valerian and/or passionflower. Follow label directions. CAUTION: Since hops could, theoretically, increase estrogen levels, women who’ve had breast cancer should avoid using the herb. TIERAONA LOW DOG, MD, is the author of Healthy at Home.
