Valerian Root
Tea
 

Valerian is a hardy perennial flowering plant, with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers, the fragrant flowers of which were used as a perfume in the sixteenth century. Today, valerian root is a relaxant herb widely used in Europe because of its calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. It has a supportive effect that works quickly, offering a healthy, non-toxic alternative to prescription drugs for relaxation and sleep. Valerian works best when taken right at bedtime to decrease insomnia and help induce sleep quickly.

Canola Oil
Canola oil is claimed to promote good health due to its very low saturated fat and high monounsaturated fat content, and beneficial Omega-3 fatty acid profile. The Canola Council of Canada states that it is completely safe and is the "healthiest" of all commonly used cooking oils. It has well-established heart health benefits and is recognized by many health professional organizations including the American Dietetics Association and American Heart Association, among others.

Safflower Oil
Safflower oil is a polyunsaturated oil that provides raw minerals in the formation of prostaglandins - vital hormone-like compounds that strengthen cell membranes and regulate every function in the body at the molecular level. Safflower oil also contains Omega-6 fatty acid, a catalyst for burning fat.

Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is high in essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat and has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits. Diets combined with a low fat content and high levels of oleic acid have been suggested to maintain healthy cholesterol which, in turn, supports cardiovascular health. Sunflower oils fit this criteria. Studies of adults suggested that a balanced diet in which small quantities of saturated fats are replaced with sunflower oil has detectable supportive effect on cholesterol. Research suggests that healthy cholesterol levels can be caused by balances of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Sunflower oil may help with this balance.
