Hops are the flower cones of the hop plant, Humulus lupulus. For centuries, hops have been used as a flavoring and stability ingredient in beer and other beverages. In herbal medicine, hops are a trusted natural treatment for insomnia, restlessness and anxiety. Interestingly, hops and Cannabis are related plants. Hops extracts may be helpful for people who are searching for an advanced alternative to chemical sleep aids such as diphenhydramine and other more powerful pharmaceutical agents.
