Hi Susan,
The hops tea is best for breakouts and chin hair, but eating hops will help too.
Goat's rue is for prolactin. Prolactin causes swelling because it stimulates milk production. Progesterone and progestins round the breasts out in a different way, by developing glandular and alveolar tissue.
Good thinking on DHT. It's DHT that brings the androgen signal to the brain, so too little of it will affect how I think. Makes me think of Mel Gibson in "What women want": he noticed women worry a lot more than men. I can use this as a symptom to adjust flax, if I keep it in my program. Thank you.
I've been reading on what in hops binds to the melatonin receptors, and makes me sleepy. Found that beer contains tryptamins. That's the class of chemicals melatonin is in. I'll check if hops contains tryptamins. Digestion or fermentation may change them, but not make them. There is also 2-phenylethylamine in hops:

It may help some in ADD, if you take it often in small doses:
