Hops Flower

Humulus Lupulus

 

Hops General Information
Hops are of the same family as stinging nettles and are best known as the source of beer’s bitter flavor; however, they have a history as an herbal medicine as well. The Greeks and Romans used Hops to treat poor digestion and intestinal disturbances. The Chinese used Hops for the same conditions, but also used them to treat leprosy and tuberculosis. Hops have a somewhat sedative effect and have been used to soothe and calm the nervous system. This plant also has nervine, diuretic and anodyne properties. The volatile oil produces sedative and soporific effects, and the Lupamaric acid or bitter principle in Hops is stomachic and tonic. The drug Lupulin is derived from Hops and is mildly sedative, inducing sleep without a headache.

Hops Uses & Scientific Evidence For
The German Commission E recommends the use of Hops for “discomfort due to restlessness or anxiety and sleep disturbances." They have also been used to improve appetite and digestion. Hops has also been used in cases of heart disease, fits, neuralgia and nervous disorders, and as a tonic for indigestion, jaundice, and stomach and liver conditions. It eases an irritable bladder and can help relieve delirium tremens. A warm pillow of Hops soothes toothaches and earaches.
