Passiflora incarnata

Simply one of the best remedies for insomnia that I know of, Passiflora contains some interesting alkaloids, specifically harmalines, also found in syrian rue (Peganum harmala) and Banisteriopsis spp. (an ingredients in ayahuasca). While Passiflora is generally a safe herb to take, I recommend caution with people on MAO-inhibitors and similar medications.

Dandelion, Taraxacum off.

A salad green, a bitter tonic, a coffee substitute (the roasted root), a gentle diuretic, a mild laxative. The flowers are used to make dandelion wine, the leaves beer - this is a wild weed at its most potent yet least-appropriated.

Shephard's purse, Capsella bursa pastoris

Shephard's purse is both a gentle diuretic and an astringent, with the latter properties considered somewhat specific for the kidneys and excessive menstrual bleeding. Unlike most tinctures, this one has a particularly short shelf life, no more than a year.

Honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica, jin yin hua

The name "jin yin hua" can be translated from the pinyin to mean "silver gold flower", noting the appearance on the vine of both white and gold-colored flowers simultaneously. In Chinese medicine this herb is categorized to clear heat and relieve toxicity which would be similar to infectious disease or a fever due to bacterial or viral infection.

A lush Salvia apiana off Sunset

Cruciferae spp.
