Medicinal Use

Hops have long had a reputation for making you drowsy; sleepiness was the common complaint of the hop picker, although this could well have been the effect of a long day outside in the sun since, so far, scientists have failed to discover conclusively any sort of soporific compound in the hops themselves. Despite this, pillows stuffed with hops are said to aid a good night’s rest. If you want to try it for yourself, a hop pillow is very easy to make. Simply fill a small cotton cushion cover or pillowcase with hops, add dried lavender, too, if you have some, and loop over the bedpost. A hop tea – made from the dried leaves, stalks and flowers – is said to be a good liver tonic to drink in spring (if you are considering a detox, this might be worth a try).
