Overview

Hops have been used for well over 1000 years to brew beer, but it has also been used since medieval times to produce medicine. Today, herbalists and naturopaths claim that adding hops to your diet may help improve overall health.

How it Works

It was observed by early physicians that hops pickers tired very easily during harvesting. It was assumed that this effect was caused by a sticky resin excreted by the cut hops plant. In recent years, scientists have confirmed that humulene and lupolene found in hops have mild sedative properties.
