A lot of things are more sensible. Chamomile, peppermint, and lavender are excellent choices too.

Clinical-grade chocolate is never cheap. Even in T-America, where it is more available, it is not cheap. It needs to be organic, it needs top-quality ingredients, and if at all possibly it should follow other laudable guidelines such as being fair trade, shade grown, etc. These produce maximum benefits.
Stop comparing clinical-grade chocolate to a Hershey bar and start comparing it to other over-the-counter medicines. It's not just a snack. Sure, you can eat it as one, but you can also eat cough candy that way. If you want medicinal chocolate, you will have to pay extra for the added quality.
I suggest that you try a few different brands of the best chocolate you can find and afford. See which you like better -- it should taste good or it won't work as well. (We hit one 95% dark chocolate that was so bad I wrote about poem about it.) See if you can sense a difference based on the brand, cocoa solids content, or other factors.
