Sleep promoting / digestive aid / relaxing nervine for stress, anxiety and tension headaches / antispasmodic

Hops (Humulus lupulus) is a vigorously growing vine, the female flowers of which develop into scaled, cone-shaped strobiles containing a resinous, pollen-like glands called lupulin. Lupulin is responsible for hop’s gentle yet potent nervine action and sedative properties that are valued for encouraging restorative sleep, calming the mind, releasing tension from the body, stabilising the nerves and reducing stress and anxiety. 

When hops became the cash crop for beer brewing due to its natural preservative qualities in England circa 1500 - causing much outrage from lovers of the traditional, sweeter ale - those working the hops fields fatigued easily, the men experienced reduced libido, and the women observed the early arrival of their menstrual cycle. Thereafter hops was used as both a sedative and a menstrual promoter. 

Hop’s estrogenic properties can be called on to balance and regulate hormones, especially in cases where imbalance is influenced by nervous stress, and is also known to be useful in stimulating milk production. 

The aromatic bitter properties of hops support digestion by prompting increased bile production necessary for the effective processing and assimilation of nutrients and fats as well as easing bloating and gas. Digestion can be supported even further by way of hop’s relaxing effect on the smooth muscle lining of the digestive tract which can have an antispasmodic effect. These digestive system supporting and antispasmodic qualities can be helpful for individuals experiencing mucous colitis (IBS) and ulcers.

Hops also has pain-relieving capabilities in both external and internal applications, particularly where there is cramping present - whether menstrual, muscle or digestive - as well as for nerve pain.

A lesser-known use for hops is in cases of priapism - persistent and painful erection. 

Rosemary Gladstar suggests hops as a good alternative for valerian which can have a heating effect, whereas Hops is cooling in nature and can conversely help clear heat from the body. Hops may be a preferred choice for muscle relaxant and pain reliever for an individual with a warm or hot constitution.  

Ingredients

Organic Humulus lupulus, GF vodka, local raw honey.

Use

For general use 1-2 droppers as needed. Start small, tune into your body and use intuitively.

Considerations

In some cases, hops can have anaphrodisiac effect in men. Some individuals may consider avoiding hops consumption if depression is a factor.
