Normally associated with beer brewing hop fruits have other uses centred around calming the nervous system and helping reduce anxiety, tension, poor sleep and nervy restlessness.

Due to its oestrogenic biochemistry, I never advise it for women until menopause, when it’s very helpful. Adding yet more oestrogen to an oestrogen-dominant world for pre-menopause women is normally counterproductive. Instead, a couple of drops hops essential oil can be used in a massage oil or added to a bath to calm the nervous system.
