Hops, valerian, and chamomile to sedate and mint to aid digestion. (The mint may be left out, however. Not everyone appreciates beer that tastes like toothpaste.) Elecampane is just for the taste. Boil the hops and 1/2 oz of chamomile flowers in the wort for an hour, the elecampane for half an hour, the remaining 2 oz. of chamomile for ten minutes, and the mint for five minutes. Add the valerian root to the primary.
