Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland in humans and regulates the circadian cycle. The production of melatonin is inhibited by light and is secreted with the absence of light. When melatonin is produced it regulates sleep patterns. As we get older it has been thought that we produce less melatonin and therefore have a more erratic sleep pattern.
Melatonin that you find in the health food store is often synthesized from plants and is basically non-toxic. I've taken melatonin for years and have found it especially useful against the dreaded jet lag.

Dandelion

My husband came home with dandelion greens to add to the salad the other night. "Pissenlit" he said, what a apt name!
Dandelion leaves and especially the root are an effective diuretic. Small amounts added to a salad or cooked with butter and salt
are fine but much more and pissenlit!! Which translates to pee on the bed!
Dandelion leaves are high in vitamin A, C and iron so go ahead and give it a try, but just a bit.
