Hops are the dried flowers of Humulus lupulus , a bitter and aromatic botanical traditionally used in calming evening teas, tinctures, sleep pillows and DIY cosmetic preparations. They are widely valued in herbalism for their relaxing effect and are commonly used in routines for sleeplessness, nervous tension, restlessness and stress. Hops also have a bitter profile, making them useful in appetite-support and digestive-style herbal blends. This herb is best used thoughtfully, especially because it can be sedating and is not suitable for people taking antidepressants or experiencing depression.
♡ Why we love it: Hops bring a distinctive relaxing bitterness to evening herbal routines. They are wonderfully versatile, working in teas, tinctures, sleep sachets and gentle rinse-off cosmetic preparations where a calming aromatic herb is wanted.
