Dried flower petals of the Hop plant

The Hop plant (Humulus lupulus) is more commonly associated with brewing beer, but you can use the hops flowers to make a soothing and sleep inducing herbal infusion. The tea may also help to sooth the bladder and urinary tract.

Hops Flowers can also be combined with Lavender Flowers to make a Hops Pillow. This has been traditionally used as a sleep aid. Use a small muslin/organza bag approximately 30cm x 20cm and fill with 3-4 handfuls each of Hops Flowers and Lavender Flowers. Place this fragrant bag underneath your usual pillow to help you get off to sleep and to help those suffering from general insomnia.

If you would like a ready-made blend which contains hops why not try Valerian Plus.

• Brew a nice cuppa before bed.
• Use as an ingredient in a Hop Pillow.
• An infusion of hops may aid digestion.
• May help to soothe the urinary tract, in particular the bladder.
