While most people know hops for their use in beer, this flower is also a popular herbal remedy for insomnia, stress, anxiety and indigestion. Brew your own hops tea before bedtime to promote a restful sleep, or make your own capsules and tinctures for use when your stress level rises.
Because of the plant’s anti-bacterial properties, some people also apply hops to the skin in the form of a salve, ointment or poultice.
