DESCRIPTION

Hops or Hop is a hedgerow climber that twines around trees. The female strobiles (fruit) of Hops have been used since Roman times in brewing beer and for their calming effect.* It is also used for promoting digestive health, and has a relaxing effect on the digestive system muscles.*. It has been used to increase breast milk for irritable infants (and probably to pass along its soothing effects).* The main constituent group is lupulin, which contains a bitter acid complex (2-methyl-3-butonol, humulone, lumulone, lupulone, and valeronic acids) and a volatile oil complex (humulene, myrcene, B- carophyllene, and farnescene).* The bitter acids humulone and lupulone have been associated with sedative properties.* Hops also contains tannins, flavonoid glycosides (rutin, quercetin, and astragalin), and asparagine.
