THE TRADITION
Hops are used to relax the nervous system and improve sleep quality. The strobiles (cone-like flowers) can be made as a tea, yet it has prominent bitter notes, so you may like to add honey, or blend with other calming herbs like chamomile and licorice. The bitter notes have a stimulating effect on the digestive system, supporting regular bowel motions. Hops has a pungent scent and is full of volatile oils, so you may like to use it in a stocking under a pillow to enjoy the scent as you relax into a deeper sleep.
THE SCIENCE
Humulus lupulus shows an improvement in sleep duration in vivo studies, via action on the GABA receptors. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that induces sleep.
