Hops are the female flowers of a climbing plant found throughout Europe and North America that is related to Cannabis, or hemp.

The most widespread use of hops is in beer production, a practice that dates back many centuries. Whole hops are used by home brewers today for the same purpose, or to make tisanes and teas.

This herb has been used as a digestive aid and sleep inducer respectively enjoyed as a bitter tonic. The qualities of the herb are due to the presence of polyphenols, which also lend their bitter principles to the production of beer.

Hops are also added to herb pillows, often in combination with lavender, valerian, dill and other herbs reputed to promote relaxation.
