Plant Origin—Hops

Hops (Humulus lupulus Linn.) is a perennial climbing herb from the Cannabaceae family, native to Europe, America, and Asia. It is distributed in China’s Xinjiang and northern Sichuan, and cultivated throughout the country. The fruit cones are used in brewing beer, while the female flowers have medicinal uses. In horticulture, hops are used for climbing trellises or fences. The female flower clusters can be dried for use. In culinary applications, hops are essential in brewing beer and are also used in herbal teas and soft drinks. Unripe green hop cones are bitter and slightly cooling, with properties that aid digestion, calm the nerves, and act as a diuretic. They are used to treat indigestion, bloating, edema, painful urination, tuberculosis, and insomnia. Hops can be used similarly to valerian in herbal medicine for treating anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. Hops-stuffed pillows are a popular folk remedy for insomnia, and animal studies show they have a calming effect.
